Aspirin makes me stink
-
I've noticed that any time I take Aspirin, 24 hours later, my armpits smell absolutely acrid, and it lasts for about days after stopping. Sulfur soap helps until I start sweating, which is a daily thing for me living in Texas and hating air conditioning.
I'm just curious is anyone else has run into this issue with Aspirin and if perhaps some workarounds have been identified.
The products I've used are HealthNatura's apsirin, Aniprin, and Gericare. The gericare stank was more vinegary. Dose: ~325mg once or twice daily.
Thank you.

Interesting.
Not aspirin specifically but yes. Are you willing to try something, would you run a three day experiment if I describe it to you? It's going to sound a bit simple and unlikely. It could be nothing, it could be the ticket.

@ThinPicking what is it?

I'll continue lbm but I really think you need to chill, reset and recover from your cold first. You currently have the award for most entertaining poaster.

Concerning the way you're drinking anything, consider yourself a quadrupedal animal or otherwise absent of a pot. Your 'sip size' will be no larger than the apex to the median of a tongue. The total amount can be unaffected or vary with any change in desire to continue. Accordingly, if you're taking any supplements like aspirin, you'll take them one by one and discard a contrived sense that you might need to 'wash' them in a bolus all the way down your gullet. You only need to carry them gently through a deglutition reflex. No choking, obviously.
No texan air-con disrespector chugging. Three days. No lapses. Report back.

@mpmh altered mitochondrial function can definitely be behind that smelly sweat issue, and in some folks, aspirin might be messing with complexes three and four, which could explain the flare-up. One thing worth trying is loading up on CoQ10 daily for a month or two. It helps support those mitochondrial pathways. Aim for about 200mg (or 100mg if it's got some absorption-boosting tech), and take it with a fatty meal to get the most out of it. Once it's built up in your system, give the aspirin another shot and see if things feel different.
In the meantime, a bunch of other supplements have helped people knock out body odor pretty fast, often within a day. They're all pretty straightforward to add in, like magnesium, zinc, thiamine, ATP/inosine, or taurine. Chlorophyllin can act like an internal deodorant too, though it might just be masking things more than fixing the root cause here.
On the aspirin front, it could also be interfering with PUFA breakdown, so incorporating some coconut oil into your routine might help counter that. Another angle: have you tried taking it every day for a couple weeks to let your liver adjust? That often smooths things out over time.
Oh, and quick question. How's your thyroid holding up? If the cold from AC really bugs you and makes you avoid it, that could be a sneaky sign of underactive thyroid function worth checking into. Let me know how it goes!
