Using hormonal contraceptives increases the need for certain nutrients. If these are not adequately covered by the diet or supplementary foods, a nutrient deficiency can arise. This can have an impact on your entire metabolism. The liver is challenged by the supply of synthetic hormones and intestinal function can be impaired. This can further limit the utilization of nutrients.
In order to reduce unwanted side effects from taking hormonal contraceptives, it is important to provide the body with the right nutrients and support the detoxification organs.
