🔹 Folate Depletion: Birth control pills can lead to lower levels of folate. High homocysteine blood levels are associated with low folate/folic acid levels, low luteal phase progesterone, and an increase in the likelihood of anovulation (lacking ovulation).

🔹 Vitamin B6: Studies suggest that birth control pills can deplete Vitamin B6 levels, crucial for hormone regulation and mood balance. Those experiencing low B6 tend to experience PMS symptoms!

🔹 Vitamin B12: Long-term use of birth control pills may interfere with Vitamin B12 absorption, leading to deficiencies; further increasing the odds of recurrent miscarriages.

🔹 Zinc: Some research suggests that birth control pills can reduce zinc levels in the body. Zinc is essential for immune function, wound healing, and reproductive health. Deficiency may impact immunity and fertility.

🔹 (Ascorbic Acid) Vitamin C: Birth control pills may interfere with Vitamin C metabolism, further leading to a lowering of ovarian function, shortened luteal phase, and lowered progesterone levels!

🔹 Vitamin E: Long-term use of birth control pills may decrease Vitamin E levels, which increases the risk of you not ovulating.

🔹 Low selenium may impact the thyroid, further affecting fertility, increasing miscarriage risk, and leading to postpartum depression.

Vitamin D, magnesium, and zinc also tend to be affected by birth control use.

💡 It’s important to address these potential deficiencies for overall health and fertility. Maybe consider using a multivitamin while you are on Birth Control Pills! Stay informed! You may book your freecomplementy session at www.ndmedic.janeapp.com
