Advil

Olá pessoal!

Advil = Paracetamol

Advil é Ibuprofeno. Paracetamol é Tylenol.

Bom mesmo é dipirona. O negócio é tão fod* que os americanos tem medo de usar.

A porta de entrada para as drogas pesadas é a maconha.

Amateur and elite endurance athletes constantly seek new ways to recover faster, and to compete harder and longer. Some have turned to over-the-counter pain relievers to help reduce muscle pain after exercise and aid recovery. More recently endurance athletes have been using ibuprofen and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) before and during competition in an attempt to compete at the highest intensity for the longest duration.

But, does this work and is it safe?

NSAID’s are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. These include aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil and Motrin), naproxen sodium (Aleve), and ketoprofen (Orudis KT). NSAIDs prevent the body from manufacturing prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are substances produced naturally by the body that act as mediators for a variety of physiologic functions including protecting the stomach lining, and regulating blood pressure. They also mediate pain and inflammation.

NSAIDs block all prostaglandins; those that cause pain as well as those that protect the stomach lining. Therefore, taking NSAIDs can sometimes cause stomach upset or gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. The risk of stomach irritation or GI bleeding increases with long-term use of NSAIDs.

NSAIDs and Athletic Performance
So, does taking an NSAID really improve athletic performance? Does it prevent or reduce muscle soreness? So far, the research doesn’t support the use of NSAIDs for athletes. Here’s what they have found so far:

Several studies have found little actual performance benefit of taking ibuprofen and warn that it may mask pain, which can lead to increased risk of injury.

One study concluded that taking 400 mg ibuprofen four hours before exercise reduced the perception of muscle soreness but didn’t actually prevent muscle cell injury as which indicated by creatine kinase, a protein found inside muscle cells that is released when they are injured.

Further studies have cautioned that the use of NSAIDs during ultra distance exercise, such as an Ironman Triathlon, is associated with an increased risk of exertional hyponatremia. Researchers believe that this effect is likely due to altered renal (kidney) function. The issues related to altered kidney function in athletes are not hard to imagine. Poor fluid transport and restriction can lead to dehydration, hyponatremia and at the extreme, kidney failure.


The most convincing real-life study may have been the one conducted during the running of the 100-mile Western States trail running race. Researcher David Neiman measured the influence of ibuprofen use during the grueling race by studying runners in three groups: a control group, a group taking 600 mg of ibuprofen one day before and on race day and a group taking 1200 mg of ibuprofen one day before and on race day.

The Study Findings

    Both groups taking ibuprofen had higher plasma levels of markers (serum C-reactive protein, plasma cytokine and macrophage inflammatory protein) for muscle damage.
    Reported delayed onset-muscle soreness was the same across all groups.
    Serum creatine kinase levels was the same across all groups.
    Race times did not differ among the groups.
    Ratings of perceived exertion did not differ among the groups.

The Bottom Line on NSAID Use During Sports
The bottom line was ibuprofen use by endurance athletes did not affect performance, muscle damage or perceived soreness but it was associated with elevated indicators of inflammation and cell damage. It’s a reasonable assumption that using NSAIDs has no positive effect on sports performance. It may, in fact, cause a serious health risk in some endurance athletes.

When is It Safe to Use NSAIDs?
The use of over the counter pain relievers, including NSAIDs, should be reserved for moderate use after intense exercise. A proper warm-up and good sports nutrition including adequate hydration may be more important, more helpful and certainly safer for reducing soreness than any medications.

Não estou querendo polemizar, só esclarecer mesmo.

O que melhora a performance é treinar.

Todos queremos sempre mais, não é Pavao!?

Bem colocado Cebo... rsrsrs

Ibuprofen Appears to Help Build Muscle

First, a study that measured muscle protein synthesis suggested to researchers in the Human Performance Laboratory at Ball State University, Muncie, Indiana that ibuprofen and acetaminophen had a negative impact on muscle by blocking the COX enzyme. So when the same researchers decided to measure the changes in muscle mass in a group of healthy older adults lifting weights regularly, for 3 months, who were taking recommended daily doses of ibuprofen (like that in Advil) or acetaminophen (like that in Tylenol) they expected to see less muscle growth in the drug takers than in the control group. They were wrong.
The Scientific American reports on the surprising results of the Ball State study, which found that taking recommended daily doses of ibuprofen (like that in Advil) or acetaminophen (like that in Tylenol) led to substantially greater increases over inactive placebo in quadriceps muscle mass and strength. In fact, Sciam reports that the muscles of the ibuprofen and acetaminophen users got 40 to 60 percent bigger than the placebo group and their muscle strength also increased more than the placebo group.Muscle volume increased 11 percent in the ibuprofen group and 13 percent in the acetaminophen group, compared with 9 percent in the placebo group. Muscle strength increased 30 percent in the ibuprofen group and 28 percent in the acetaminophen group, compared with 23 percent in the placebo group.

A indústria farmacêutica agradece.

Da próxima vez que estiver com dor de cabeça vou passar no médico pra ele me receitar uma aspirina. Hahahahahaha
Brincadeiras a parte, acho que informação nunca é de mais. Quanto a tomar ou não, aí vai de cada um. Se nego quer tomar, que tome sabendo das vantagens, desvantagens e riscos que corre.

Zyox... pra melhorar a performance, pensa que no fim do treino vai ter coca-cola... bem gelada te esperando, seja no buteco, no posto ou whatever...

Se juntar isso a treinos regulares, vai melhorar mto...

bóra treinar...
