Nutrient Depletion from Medications
Nutrient Depletion Caused by Prescription Medications
While prescription medications can have lifesaving benefits, many of the top 100 drugs prescribed in the U.S. have been shown to deplete a variety of nutrients. In fact, when taken regularly, some frequently prescribed medications can diminish or deplete the body's stores of important vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients.
It is estimated that up to 30 percent of pharmaceutical side effects are the result of drug-induced nutrient deficiencies. What’s more, these nutrient deficiencies can often cause additional side effects.
Among the most common drugs linked to nutrient depletion are oral contraceptives, cholesterol-lowering statins, and antibiotics. These, and many other over-the-counter and prescription medications, can interfere with your body’s ability to digest, absorb, synthesize, or make use of certain nutrients.
The targeted use of nutritional supplements is an effective solution for avoiding drug-induced nutritional depletion. Natural supplements replenish the system with essential vitamins and minerals that may help alleviate a range of common deficiency symptoms. Nutritional supplements can reduce adverse side effects, increase patient comfort and compliance, and improve therapeutic efficacy and clinical outcomes.
