Has anyone heard about mineral deficiencies due to BCP use? I heard this a few years ago & I have been thinking maybe I should take some multi-vit's to replenish what I'm supposed to be loosing?

I've heard this too. I used to take a multivit for that reason (although I now take Zinc ACE instead). I read bcps can deplete b vitamins.

B vitamins...I've heard they are a natural mozzie repellent, maybe thats why they find me so tasty cause I'm low on B vits

Thats the same as I use, I only thought about asking the health store, maybe I should ask at the pharmacy - good idea!

Zinc ACE = it includes vitamins A C and E (as well as B complex and copper). On the packet it says "helps maintain healthy immune and reproductive systems"
Stacy, I had no idea about the calcium. I'm glad you mentioned that!

Definately check with your pharmacist or the doctor who handles your scripts. Birth control pills can deplete a spectrum of vitamins and minerals depending on the specific chemistry of the pill you are taking.

BCP depletes minerals?
