While the prescriptions you take are doing a lot of good to help your body, they can also deplete certain nutrient levels. It’s easy to fill the gaps with nutrients as long as you know what you’re looking for.
Find your prescription below and see what nutrients might be recommended for you.
If you have questions about any of your medications and what nutrients you should be taking, talk to your pharmacist and ask them for a copy of our Drug Nutrient Depletion brochure.
