Ibuprofen is under the banner of drugs known as Non-Steroid Anti-Inflamatory Drugs (NSAID’s). I used to pop them regularly as pain management for my back, having broken it along time ago. But since my research into this I can’t possibly bring myself to take one now.
1. Causes a decrease of cartilidge production in the body.
2. Inhibits proteoglycan production (building blocks of cartilidge.)
3. Causes accelerated bone destruction.
