Birth Control? Install Your Security System

Birth control and HRT have been studied in relation to their effects on nutrient levels. Research has investigated potential impacts on magnesium, selenium, zinc, folate, CoQ10, B vitamins (particularly B2, B6, and B12), Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and various minerals.

Several studies have looked into birth control's impact on nutrient levels. Most focused on oral contraceptives, but implants and creams/patches have also been investigated in relation to nutrient status.

Supporting your body with these nutrients during and after hormonal contraceptive use is a sensible general wellness approach. Nutritional support may help maintain the building blocks your body needs for optimal function.

Research has explored associations between nutrient depletion and various health outcomes. These are associations observed in research — they do not establish that birth control directly causes these outcomes in all individuals, and individual responses vary significantly. If you have concerns about your nutrient levels or health while using hormonal contraceptives, consult your healthcare practitioner.
