A member asked:
I have heard that the contraceptive pill depletes essential vitamins. is this true? and if it is, what vitamins should i be taking to make up for it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Oral bcp: vitamins: There is no correlation known about specific "depletion" of essential vitamins with oral contraceptives. The components of oral contraceptives are very similar to natural hormones, and with the current "low dose" oral bcp's, the amounts of hormone are actually less than produced if not taking oral bcp.
