Supplements To Take On Birth Control

Millions of people use oral contraceptives regularly to prevent unwanted pregnancies, making them among the most commonly used medications in the developed world. While birth control pills are highly effective, they can affect hormone levels and reduce the body’s supply of essential vitamins and minerals. To address this, you might wish to consider supplements that support these key nutrients while on birth control.

Nutri Advanced offers a range of supplements designed to support your body’s levels of magnesium, zinc, folic acid, and other nutrients commonly depleted by contraceptive pills. These supplements help to balance hormones and restore key minerals naturally, to help you feel more reassured while taking birth control.

There is research that suggests some common oral contraceptives could lower our levels of essential minerals, nutrients, and vitamins. This may result in side effects such as fatigue, low mood, hormone imbalances, and poor sleep. Those experiencing these side effects might find it beneficial to explore supplements that support nutrient levels while on birth control.

Nutri Advanced provides several supplements made with natural and nature identical ingredients that may mitigate the side effects of birth control pills by supporting essential nutrients and minerals.

FAQ

Birth control pills can reduce the levels of several key nutrients in your body. These include magnesium, zinc, folic acid, and vitamins B6 and B12. Magnesium is vital for muscle and nerve function, zinc supports immune health, folic acid is crucial for DNA synthesis and repair, and vitamins B6 and B12 are important for brain health and red blood cell formation. Low levels of these nutrients may lead to symptoms including fatigue, low mood, and hormonal imbalance.

Generally, supplements do not interfere with the effectiveness of birth control pills. However, certain herbal supplements, such as St. John’s Wort, could reduce the effectiveness of contraceptive pills by accelerating their breakdown in the liver. We recommend consulting with your healthcare provider if you are concerned about any potential interactions with your birth control pills.

Taking a multivitamin generally does not affect the effectiveness of birth control pills. In fact, multivitamins could be beneficial as they help replenish nutrients that may be depleted by contraceptive use. Ensuring adequate intake of vitamins and minerals supports overall health and wellbeing.

Your healthcare provider can provide personalised advice based on your health history and ensure that the supplements you are taking are appropriate for your needs. They can also check for any potential interactions between the supplements and your birth control pills, ensuring that your contraceptive method remains effective.

In addition to taking supplements, maintaining a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains can support your overall health. Staying hydrated, exercising regularly, and getting good quality sleep are also important. Reducing stress via meditation or yoga could also further help maintain hormonal balance. By combining these healthy lifestyle habits with the right supplements, you can support your body while using birth control.
