Before you take Ibuprofen again, you should
know the health risks! http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/12/05/for-athletes-risks-from-ibuprofen-use/?ref=health&_r=0
According to the article, "For Athletes, Risks From Ibuprofen Use" in The New York Times by Gretchen Reynolds, "many active people use the painkiller ibuprofen on an almost daily basis." Whether an athlete is looking to kill the pain following a strenuous workout or thinking about preventative care from muscle soreness, it is clear that the risks of Ibuprofen are much higher than the benefits these athletes are hoping to experience.

Whether an athlete is looking to kill the pain following a strenuous workout or thinking about preventative care from muscle soreness, it is clear that the risks of Ibuprofen are much higher than the benefits these athletes are hoping to experience.
Gretchen Reynolds states, "a valuable new study joins growing evidence that ibuprofen and similar anti-inflammatory painkillers taken before a workout do not offer any benefit and may be causing disagreeable physical damage instead, particularly to the intestines." She later says, "the most common side-effect of ibuprofen is gastrointestinal damage."

Innerzyme Pain & Inflammation Blend offers a safe, natural, and effective alternative to reduce pain and inflammation following strenuous workouts or sports injuries without any harmful side effects.
Innerzyme's proprietary blend contains Pancreatin, Papain, Bromelain, Trypsin, Chymotrypsin, Rutin, White Willow Bark and Turmeric root. It is specially formulated to naturally reduce pain, inflammation, excess fibrin and the buildup of excess free radicals.
The delivery system for Innerzyme's Pain & Inflammation Blend is an enteric coated tablet. The enteric coating protects the enzymes from premature release in the acidic region of the stomach allowing maximum absorption and optimal release of the proprietary blend in the pancreatic juices. High potency, minimal dosage with maximum benefit! When taken on an empty stomach, it is believed that enzymes may help manage inflammation by supporting healthy blood flow to the irritated area.
Bromelain is most notable for its effectiveness in the reduction of inflammation and decreasing swelling, but the scope of its benefits continues to increase.* Derived from the pineapple fruit, this natural anti-inflammatory has many health benefits.
Chymotrypsin is naturally produced by the pancreas in the human body. The primary uses of chymotrypsin are as a naturally anti-inflammatory and as a digestive aid. As a natural anti-inflammatory, chymotrypsin may help reduce tissue damage and the formation of fibrin clots during inflammation.*
Turmeric is an herb, an Indian spice that has been used for many years because of its natural medicinal properties. Turmeric is rich in antioxidants and is a powerful anti-inflammatory.
Rutin is a potent bioflavonoid which are water-soluble plant pigments, naturally occurring chemical compounds important to maintaining optimal health. They support health by protecting and strengthening capillaries, help prevent bruising and provide support for many other biological functions.*
