BCP depletes vitamin D? I was considering trying a new brand of bcp, to see if a different type of progestin would have any positive effects on my mood. So, I put in a call with my doctor, who advised me to stick with the brand I'm currently taking (Ovcon-35) and try adding vitamin D. She said that oral contraceptives can deplete your body of vitamin D, which can be a cause of depression. Has anyone heard of this?
Thanks! |
