A member asked:

Can taking too many vitamin supplements, or taking too many vitamin supplements in high quantity affect/ counteract with birth control?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Vitamins don't interfere with birth control pills; however, there are some supplements that in high doses could interfere with birth control pills. Some examples are St. John's Wort, Soy Isoflavones, and Chaste-berry. If you are on a particular herb, check it for interactions or ask you doctor. Best wishes!
