Replenish Nutrients

Replenish Nutrients Depleted by Common Prescription and OTC Medications

 

The use of prescription and over-the-counter drugs is extremely prevalent in North America and most of the Western developed world.  It is reported that 46 percent of Americans take ate least one prescription drug daily.

 

It is important that patients be advised on how to replenish the nutrient depletion associated with the drugs they are taking.  What is evident from the information that follows is that taking a high-potency multiple vitamin enriched with antioxidants, a B-50 complex and 250-500 mg of calcium is an important consideration to counter drug-induced nutrient depletion, as well as being a cornerstone of wellness care for most adults.
