Yes- beneficial : Yes. I recommend that all women on oral contraceptives take vitamins. There is recent evidence that vit c & e may protect against oxidative stress induced by oral contraceptives. B vitamins may also be beneficial- see www.Nutraingredients-usa.Com/research/vitamins-c-e-may-benefit-women-on-oral-contraceptives & http://orthomolecular.Org/resources/omns/v06n20.Shtml.
