Years ago I started educating health professionals and patients in my practice about birth control pills. If they — or their wives, daughters, or patients were taking them — they should make sure to supplement with a multivitamin and mineral containing higher dosages of B vitamins.

The reason? Studies have found that oral contraceptives deplete several nutrients including vitamins B2, B6, and B12, folate, vitamins C and E, magnesium, and even CoQ10.^1-5 These nutrient depletions have far-reaching effects; they can contribute to everything from depression, migraines, and anemia — to cervical dysplasia — the precursor to cervical cancer.

Ah, it was so simple back in 1941. That’s when the first RDAs (Recommended Daily Allowances) for vitamins first came out. Clear little easy-to-understand numbers that let you know how much of a vitamin you needed to prevent a deficiency disease (like rickets or beri-beri). It was the vitamin equivalent of having three television stations to choose from. I like to call the RDAs “Minimum Wage Nutrition”.

Then people began to get the idea that vitamins might do more than just prevent scurvy and rickets. They might actually have a role in preventive medicine and general health — helping to stave off cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis… actually, just about any condition you can name.
