Birth Control Pill Users Need to Supplement With Vitamin B

Numerous studies show that oral contraceptives deplete B vitamins. Three B vitamins, folic acid, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12, are depleted by oral contraceptives. These B vitamins are necessary to metabolize the amino acid homocysteine. Women who take oral contraceptives for years may be increasing their risk of heart disease because increased levels of homocysteine increases the risk of plaque build up in the arteries which can cause heart attacks.

If that is not a good enough reason to supplement, "the pill", also deplete your body of other nutrients that can cause depression, weak immune system, osteoporosis, high blood pressure and more.

Vitamin B-12 comes from bacteria; it is not synthesized by plants or animals. We get it by taking supplements or by eating eggs or meats. The ability to absorb B-vitamins naturally decreases with age, and various indicators of reduced cognitive performance are associated with reduced B-vitamin levels. Activated forms of vitamins B6, B12 and folic acid allow your body to absorb more of the nutrients.

We recommend Isotonix Activated B-Complex because it delivers metabolically active forms of several vitamins and minerals. By providing the metabolically active forms of these vitamins in isotonic form, you can be certain that your body is getting the vital nutrients it needs quickly and effectively.
