Medications Side Effects on Your Nutrition
Posted by Vicki | Under Medications Effect on Nutrition
Did you know that most OTC and prescription drugs deplete, or disable your body from absorbing, essential nutrients? In this way, they are doing you more harm than good.
For example, aspirin inhibits the body’s ability to absorb vitamin C, and can reduce the levels of iron and folic acid, causing anemia, and a compromised immune system.
Contraceptives deplete the body of vitamins B6, b!2, zinc, and blood magnesium, which can cause insomnia, mood swings, and diarrhea to name a few.
Acid blockers also reduce levels of iron and zinc. Zinc is important in high levels to fight off infection, and also important for prostate health, and is concentrated most in men in their prostate.
For a more complete list, check out this Perscription Drug Depletion Chart, and OTC Medication Depletion Chart.

I was just speaking to my younger sister concerning this yesterday. I also saw an article on this over at the topa web page. Isnt it humorous how these things pop up in bunches. to be frank, it is kind of scary.
I know, isn’t it like the universe trying to emphasize how important things are sometimes!
Thanks for stopping to comment!
Wishing You Health and Happiness!
Very informative post with several interesting suggestions! I can’t say that I totally agree with all you have suggested here, but there are several key suggestions you have emphasized that can be very usable on natural health and associated topics. Please continue offering more recommendations on this topic and related subjects, as there are many out there like me who are working to evaluate the pluses and minuses.
