NutraMD Essential Nutrients Supplement
Do you know the prescription drugs you take are depleting your body's essential vitamins and minerals?
It is extremely important for today’s health conscious consumers to be aware of the potentially dangerous nutritional side effects and depletion of certain essential nutrients associated with common over the counter and prescription medications.
With so much research supporting the efficacy, safety, and benefit of nutrition in the treatment and prevention of chronic degenerative diseases (cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, dementia, arthritis, etc.), physicians are advising a supplement for their patients along with their prescription medications.
If you are taking any prescription medications, be aware that taking them may result in a deficiency of essential nutrients (vitamins, minerals, etc.). Commonly prescribed medications such as: Zocor, Lipitor,Vytorin, Crestor, Lescol, Mevacor, Tricor, Celebrex, Mobic, Ibuprofen, Naproxen, Nexium, Prevacid, Prilosec, Zantac, Oral contraceptives, hormone replacement and diuretics for high blood pressure such as Micardis HCT and Diovan HCT can all have deleterious effects on your body’s ability to utilize essential nutrients properly. It is vital that you know which essential nutrients are affected so that you can offset the potential dangers to your health with a supplement.
Prescription medications can have many side effects. Some are related to the actual mechanism of action of the drug, but in many cases, side effects can be caused by the effect that the medicine has on a person’s nutritional status. Some drugs may affect a person’s appetite, thus affecting their nutrient status through lack of food intake. Many medications will affect the body’s digestion, absorption, utilization, and excretion of nutrients. For example, certain high blood pressure medications (diuretics) can increase the loss of minerals like calcium, magnesium, and zinc in the urine therefore a supplement should be advised. These medications are usually taken over a long period of time; therefore, when symptoms or diseases of mineral deficiencies begin to develop (i.e.osteoarthritis and poor immune function) they can be mistakenly attributed to old age or other factors. That being said, treating one disease with an essential nutrient depleting medicine could potentially lead to another by way of drug induced nutrient loss. This concept is crucial to understand because many medications that are necessary for patient care can have these effects.
Therefore in cases where medicines are known to cause specific nutritional deficiencies, NutraMD Essential Nutrients® supplement can potentially offset a number of drug-induced side effects saving thousands of lives and billions of dollars in direct and indirect medical expenses. This web site is designed to educate you, the consumer, about the enormous amount of drug-nutrient depletion interactions so that you may apply this information in life as it might relate to you or your family.
