AminoActiv®, Safe, non-toxic pain relief     'The #1 alternative to ibuprofen and NSAID's'(TM)TM
NSAID Harms!

Ibuprofen and NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, the class of drugs that ibuprofen and other COX-inhibitors are in) work great to reduce inflammation and pain but also:

  1. COX-inhibitors slow down the rate of protein synthesis...which negatively effects muscle tissue repair

  2. COX-inhibitors almost completely stop the function of tenocytes which are the cells in the body that produce packed, arrayed collagen...the material that becomes connective tissue, tendons, ligaments, etc.

  3. COX-inhibitors impede bone re-calcification so are not good for fractures or bone healing

    Dr. Bjorn Dimmen and Dr. Hakan Alfredson did research on these issues and a discussion on this work can be found at http://www.orthosupersite.com/view.aspx?rid=18588

  4. COX-inhibitors increase oxidative stress...that is, they increase the presence of ROS (reactive oxygen species) which cause "chemical" damage to the body and negatively effect systemic inflammation. ROS are harmful to the body and are the molecules that "anti-oxidants" combat (which is why we areencouraged to have diets high in anti-oxidant rich foods).

    Dr. Steven McAnulty did research on this and you can find info on his study at http://www.mendeley.com/research/effect-nsaid-muscle-injury-oxidative-stress-1/

  5. COX-inhibitors are well known to cause G.I. ulcerations and stomach bleed if used frequently

  6. COX-inhibitors are well know to be nephro-toxic. They are quite damaging to the renal cells of the body, and chronic use can result in enough kidney damage to require dialysis, and in some cases, kidney transplant.
