Reason #17. Medications
Australians,
Americans and Europeans consume an astounding quantity of
prescription
and over-the-counter medications. However, nothing in your body
operates in isolated
compartments - everything interacts with everything else in some
way.
Many
drugs interact with supplements, or cause an increased need for
them.
For example, women on birth control pills may have an increased need
for vitamin B6.
People on Glucophage need more calcium, B12 and folic acid. The list
is endless.
So if you're on medication, consult your physician to
determine the specific supplements you need. |
