Nutrient Depletions From Drug Use
Typical nutrient depletions from commonly used medical drugs
Antibiotics may deplete B complex vitamins, vitamins A, C, and D, folic acid, biotin, calcium, iron and magnesium.
Antacids and Acid Blockers (like Zantac) may reduce levels of calcium, iron, potassium, phosphorus, vitamin B12, zinc and magnesium.
Aspirin, used regularly, can lower folic acid and increase capillary fragility (which can predispose one to stroke).
Alcohol use can affect the availability, absorption and metabolism of nutrients. Regular use of alcohol increases the body's need for the B-complex vitamins, particularly thiamine, niacin, folic acid, B12, plus vitamins A and C, zinc, magnesium and calcium.
Oral contraceptives (birth control pills) and conjugated estrogens (such as Premarin) are associated with nutrient deficiencies including B-complex vitamins, vitamin C,magnesium and zinc.
Cholesterol-Lowering Drugs
Statins Nutrients Depleted
Lipitor, Pravachol, Zocor, Mevachor, Lescol Depletes CoQ10, vitamin E
Bile Acid Sequestrants
Colestid, Prevalite, Questran Depletes vitamins A, B12, D, E, K, betacarotene, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, folic acid
Blood Pressure Drugs
ACE Inhibitors
Prinivil, Zestril, Vasotec, Captopril May deplete zinc
Beta Blockers
Blocadren, Tenormin, Nadolol, Toprol, Inderal,
Lopressor, Cartrol, Brevibloc, Sectral, Betapace May deplete CoQ-10
Calcium Channel Blockers Avoid taking calcium
Cardizem, Norvasc, Procardia Ask your doctor to change to
less dangerous b.p. medications
Loop Diuretics
Demadex, Edecrin, Depletes vitamins B1 & B6,
calcium, Furosemide, Lasix magnesium, potassium, zinc
Potassium Sparing Diuretics
Aldactone, Dyrenium, Midamor Depletes Folic Acid, calcium
Thiazide Diuretics
Diucardin, Diuril, Enduron, Microzide, May deplete calciumexcretion
HydroDIURIL, Indapamide, Mykrox, Renese,
Thalitone, Zaroxolyn
Blood Thinners
Coumadin, Warfarin, Heparin, Lovenox, Depletes CoQ10, magnesium,
Normiflo, Orgaran potassium, zinc, folic acid,
calcium
Vasodilators
Hydralazine Depletes CoQ10, vitamin B6
Other Nutrient Depleting Causes
Carbonated soda, with its excess amount of phosphates, can interfere with normal calcium metabolism and can draw calcium out of your bones.
Hot coffee, black tea and commercial pickles. Habitual drinking of liquids that are too hot, or regularly consuming coffee, commercial black tea, or commercial pickles (made with toxic acetic acid) can cause inflammation of the digestive lining, resulting in a lowering of digestive enzymes and less absorption of vitamins and minerals from food.
Stress can deplete the nutrient building blocks (such as vitamins C, B5, and B6, as well as magnesium, zinc and potassium) that your adrenal glands need to manufacture hormones.
Jenine's note to this article:
Recommendations: Replace the lost nutrients with a high quality multi-vitamin mineral supplement, and probiotics (probiotics are especially essential when antacids, antibiotics or birth control pills have been used). Higher doses than average may be necessary when replenishing the body.
Equally important to replenishing your body, is to remove the cause that initiated the need for the drug.
