Studies show that approximately half of the medications used today to treat chronic medical conditions can affect the levels of certain nutrients in the body, by either interaction and/or altering absorption. However, there are various nutritional supplements that can help counteract these possible medication-induced nutrient depletions.
Always consult a pharmacist before adding any supplement or over-the-counter (OTC) product to your diet. Some supplements may not be appropriate for you based upon your medication profile or health history.
If you are currently taking prescription medications, review this chart to see if you might be nutrient deficient in a certain area. Ask your community pharmacist for supplement recommendations that are appropriate for you and your medication profile!
