Doctor says your everyday medicines are secretly draining your vitamins and minerals

Long-term use of common medications like aspirin, birth control pills, and antacids can deplete essential nutrients, leading to various health issues. Aspirin impacts vitamin C and iron levels, while birth control pills affect B vitamins, vitamin C, zinc, and magnesium. Metformin reduces vitamin B12 absorption, and antacids interfere with vitamin B12, calcium, potassium, and zinc.
