Here’s what you need to know about nutrient-depleting drugs:
– Ant!depre$sants can deplete melatonin, B vitamins, and folate
– St!mulants may lower potassium, iron, and vitamin D levels
– Birth control pills affect B12, vitamin C, zinc, and folate absorption
– Ant!biot!cs can reduce potassium, iron, magnesium, and disrupt gut flora
– Antac!ds impact calcium, iron, B12, and zinc levels
– Stat!ns may lower CoQ10 and essential mineral levels
– Ant!-hypertens!ves can deplete zinc, calcium, potassium, and magnesium
Long-term use of these medications poses a higher risk of nutrient deficiencies. Common symptoms of nutrient depletion include fatigue, anemia, depression, and pale skin.
It’s crucial to understand these interactions for maintaining optimal health while on medication. Remember, factors like diet, lifestyle, and medical history also influence nutrient status.
