Some of the most common depleted nutrients as detailed by nationally-recognized researchers and authors Dr. Ross Pelton and "America's Pharmacist" Suzy Cohen, RPh:
-
B-vitamins: B1, B2, B6, B9/Folate, B12
-
Vitamin C
-
Vitamin E (I stay away from alpha-tocopherol where I can, using mixed tocopherols, or preferably a mixed tocotrienol supplement as vitamin E sources)
-
Magnesium
-
Selenium
-
Zinc
-
Tyrosine
-
CoQ10
While you don't need to take all of these supplements, they can help ensure that your body is getting everything it needs while you're on birth control, or to help your body recover after taking birth control over months or years.
Best Prenatal Vitamins
These are my favorite professional prenatal formulas. I like the complete and comprehensive support in all the right forms of vitamins and minerals in the Prenatal Complete. I also like that they use mixed tocopherols which are better forms of Vitamin E to take without risk of causing problems.
