| NUTRITIONAL DEPLETION SCHEDULE
Medical science and University research has shown that many medications can leach important nutrients from the body. The following is a composite of the most common, over-the-counter and pharmaceutical drugs taken, and the nutrients that generally need replenishment as a result of these drugs. If you are taking medication, supplementation is suggested in order to maintain proper nutritional balance in your body. Deficiencies can contribute to disease processes and keep you from performing your best. Please review with your doctor.
