Use of prescribed and over-the-counter drugs can cause depletion of one or more vital nutrients

in the body. The drugs may interfere with the body’s absorption of an essential nutrient or vitamin, or the body’s production of an important biochemical. Listed in this guide are many of the most frequently prescribed drugs, and the resulting nutrients they deplete.
