Ibuprofen

from Women's Health  Jan/Feb 2013 issue:

"A recent study revealed that the pain reliever can cause intestinal damage when taken before a hard workout.  During strenuous exercise, your body directs blood flow away from your gut and to your muscles, which weakens your intestinal barrier."

It is best to delay taking any kind for medications/vitamins until post workout.  Also, check out:  How Long Should You Wait To Exercise after Eating?

    But I need the Ibuprofen to get through the workout :) Okay, I'll stop that now.
