Nutrient Depleting Drugs causing Nutrient Deficiencies

Nutrient Depleting Drugs & Nutrient Deficiencies

Antiarrhythmic agents: Digoxin depletes calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and B1. Phenytoin, which is used for ventricular arrhythmia, as well as grand mal, simple partial and complex partial seizures, depletes the body of biotin, calcium, folic acid, thiamin, B12, vitamin D, and vitamin K.

Antihypertensives: Beta blockers (used for hypertension, angina, and arrhythmia) deplete coenzyme Q10. ACE inhibitors (benazepril, captopril, enalapril, fosinopril, lisinopril), collectively deplete the body of zinc. Hydrochlorothiazide and triamterene deplete the body of B6, folic acid, and calcium.

Antilipemic agents: Cholestyramine resin and colestipol deplete the body of beta-carotene, folic acid, vitamin A, B12, vitamin D, folic acid, vitamin E, vitamin K, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and zinc. Statin drugs (atorvastatin, cerivastatin, fluvastatin, lovastatin, simvastatin) deplete the body of coenzyme Q10.

Antidiabetic agents: metformin (glucophage), acetohexamide (dymelor), glyburide (diabeta, glynase, prestab, micronase), tolazaminde (tolinase), tolbutamide (orinase), as a group deplete coenzyme Q10, with desipramine also depleting the body of B12. Since diabetes is a cardiovascular disease risk factor, the depletion of these nutrients places the individual at increased risk, because of the fact that coenzyme Q10 and B12 contribute to proper cardiovascular health.

Antibiotics: Besides destroying beneficial gut bacteria that aid digestion, protect against infection, and synthesize certain nutrients, tetracyclines (achromycin, sumycin, tetracap, panmycin), penicillins, cephalosporins, fluoroquinolones, and sulfonamides, deplete the body of B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, biotin, inositol, vitamin K, iron, and magnesium.

Antidepressants: Amoxapine (asendin), desipramine (norpramin), nortriptyline (aventyl hydrochloride), protriptyline (vivactil), amitriptyline (elavil), clomipramine (anafranil), doxepin (adapin), and imipramine (tofranil) deplete the body of coenzyme Q10 and B2.

Anti-inflammatory agents: The nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs diclofenac, diflunisal, etodolac, fenoprofen, ibuprofen, ketoprofen, mefenamic acid, nabumetone, naproxen, and piroxicam all deplete the body of folic acid.

Estrogens (conjugated and esterified): Premarin, estratab, and menest, deplete the body of B6, magnesium, and zinc.

Is your Vitamin A Synthetic? Probably yes!

Synthetic vitamin A: Palmitate, lemon grass, retinal, beta carotene (can be made synthetically) & Polyprenoic acid folks don’t take any of these.
Vitamin A from Fish oil is natural yet hard to digest and often have toxins. The best is mixed carotenoids from a plant.

*Example of Synthetic Vitamin A: Vitamin A (as beta carotene, retinyl palmitate)
*Example of Synthetic Vitamin A and how some try to trick people: Vitamin A (20% as beta-carotene) 2500 IU, so what is the other 80% made from? Yes Synthetic vitamin A but they didn't put that on the bottle..


A significant number of the vitamin A you will find on the Health Food Store and pharmacy shelves these days are made synthetically through chemical processes, rather than derived directly from plants or other materials. Only a few manufacturers produce natural vitamins. In fact, some manufacturers of vitamin A say they are “Natural Vitamin A” but they are not. Sometimes the word natural use in the name of the company that’s on the label, then people make the mistake in believing that all their products are natural.

It is not difficult to make the distinction between "synthetic" and "natural" vitamins. Some define a natural vitamin as a concentrated nutrient derived from a quality natural source. No artificial colors, flavors, men made material, sweeteners, or preservatives are used.


A natural source contains co-factors and synergistic nutrients that come with it in nature. It is concentrated from its natural source as carefully as possible. No extreme heat, pressure, or toxic solvents are used in the process. The nutrients are prepared from high quality raw ingredients. No artificial chemicals are added. Harsh binders and fillers do hinder absorption and can be toxic to the body. These items are not food thus putting stress on the body to eliminate it.

Synthetic vitamins are made in a laboratory setting from coal tar derivatives. No co-factors are present. Most of the food supplements sold on the market today are synthetic.
An additional way to compare natural and synthetic vitamins is to consider the differences in their molecular structures.

Natural health authorities claim that synthetic vitamins are useless and ineffective. This is only partly true as some synthetic vitamins even synthetic vitamin A can work well for short period of time.

Vitamin A

Do you take chemicals for vitamin A? Check your label “Palmitate” Vitamin A is synthetic man made, it is not found in whole natural food.

Natural supplements are safe? Fact: Prescription drugs are dangerous.

Have you ever heard that vitamins and minerals could be dangerous? We hear that all the time from the drug pushing doctors and pharmaceutical companies yet not one in America has died in the last eight years from natural supplements. What is the danger? Over 125,000 people die every year from perception and drugs from other licensed doctors. And that’s when the people took exactly the right amount of the correct you have prescribed no mistake was made it just killed 125,000 people. Yes one people died from mistakes, illegal drugs at lower doses but I’m not counting those.
