Vitamins and birth control

I read an interesting article that said women who are on the pill can easily become deficient in folic acid and other b vitamins, which makes a lot of sense. It said it is real important to take a vitamin if you take the pill. Does anyone know what other vitamins or minerals are affected by being on the pill?

Re: Vitamins and birth control

this is important to know! thanks for posting it.

my doctor strongly advised me to take a B-complex and a mutli vitamin everyday. to compensate for what the pill depleats and also helping the body adjust to the pill.

Re: Vitamins and birth control

yes, I read somewhere on the net that vitamin C can interfere with the pill's effectiness; it was reccomended to take vitamin C at least 4 hours after you take your pill. anybody else heard this?
