How bad is it to take 1000mgs per day for minor aches and pains? Sort of just became a habit.
 
You should be good with 1000mgs. Max adult dose (daily) is just over 3000mgs.
 
Google nutrient depletion. Nsaids with regular use can cause major gastric peoblems...gut permeability aka leaky gut along with leaching specific nutrients.
 
And not just anti inflammatory drugs but all otc drugs and pharmacueticals
 
Follow-up question, if you don't mind. I've been taking 6 Nurofen plus tablets in one go. Am I crazy? That's 1,200 mg ibuprofen in one go - so, a daily recommended dosage in one hit. And sadly it seems I need a fairly empty stomach to get any hit from it. I've tried cold filtration but it never feels remotely the same as the full pills. In short, is 1,200 mg ibuprofen in one dose crazy?? I know older people with rheumatoid arthritis could have 3,200 mg in a day, but I'd like to have functioning kidneys for another 50 years...
