Taking Birth Control? Don't Overlook This.
Whether you’re on the pill, a hormonal IUD, or a transdermal patch — research shows these contraceptives can quietly deplete key nutrients your body needs to feel its best.

Did You Know Birth Control Can Impact
11 Essential Nutrients
Research shows hormonal contraceptives — including pills, IUDs, and patches — can interfere with your body's ability to absorb and retain essential nutrients over time.
Folate
Quatrefolic® 5-MTHF
Folate levels decline with birth control use — a concern for red blood cell production, neurological integrity, and overall cellular health.
Linked to fatigue, brain fog, and low mood
Vitamin B12
Methylcobalamin
B12 levels are consistently impacted by long-term hormonal contraceptive use, affecting energy production and neurological function.
Linked to fatigue and cognitive difficulties
Vitamin B6
Dual-Form P-5-P + Pyridoxine
B6 depletion is commonly observed with hormonal contraceptive use, directly affecting mood regulation and neurotransmitter balance.
Linked to mood swings and irritability
Magnesium
TRAACS® Magnesium Bisglycinate
Magnesium availability can be reduced with hormonal contraceptive use, impacting daily energy, stress response, and sleep quality.
Linked to anxiety, cramps, and poor sleep
Zinc
TRAACS® Zinc Bisglycinate
Zinc levels have been shown to be lower with hormonal contraceptive use, affecting immune balance, skin clarity, and tissue repair.
Linked to breakouts and weakened immunity
Vitamin C
Ascorbic Acid
Vitamin C levels within immune cells are lower with contraceptive use, weakening antioxidant defense and cellular protection.
Linked to lowered immune resilience
Riboflavin
Riboflavin-5'-Phosphate (B2)
Riboflavin activity is reduced with hormonal contraceptive use, impacting the activation of other B vitamins and neurological function.
Linked to headaches and low energy
Designed for pills, IUDs, and patches, including:
The Side Effects No One Talks About
Birth control is life-changing for millions of women — but the hormonal shifts it creates can quietly deplete key nutrients, leading to symptoms that often get dismissed.
Common Birth Control Side Effects
Many of the most common side effects are directly linked to nutrient depletion:
- Mood swings & irritability
- Fatigue & low energy
- Brain fog & difficulty concentrating
- Breakouts & skin changes
- Weakened immune response
- Headaches & migraines
Antidote Support Formula
Pharmacist-formulated to replenish what your birth control depletes:
- Folate (Quatrefolic®) for cellular health & methylation
- B12 + B6 for mood & neurological support
- Magnesium for energy & stress resilience
- Zinc for skin clarity & immune balance
- Vitamin C + E + Selenium for antioxidant defense
Formulated to Replenish What Birth Control Depletes
One capsule a day. Third-Party Tested. Pharmacist formulated.
The Antidote Standard™
FREE OF 9 MAJOR ALLERGENS
Questions, answered.
Yes. Antidote formulas were developed to be used together, with ingredient selection and nutrient overlap carefully considered across all products. Most people choose to take more than one formula as part of their routine. As always, we recommend reviewing your supplement use with your healthcare provider.
Everyone’s body responds differently. Some people may notice changes within a few weeks, while others may require more consistent use over time. Because Antidote formulas support nutrient repletion rather than immediate effects, results are often gradual. We recommend consistent daily use for sustained support.
While most people notice symptoms associated with low nutrients, it can vary and isn't always intuitive. Blood testing is the most accurate way to evaluate nutrient levels. A healthcare provider can help interpret labs and determine whether supplementation makes sense.

Exactly what I was missing!
I’ve been using Antidote for a few weeks now and already feel less fatigued and achey. I love that it’s just one pill per day!
Easy addition to my routine.
Had no idea my medication was depleting so many things, but I’m excited to to have this product in my daily routine.
Thoughtfully Designed!
I was having daily cramps before I started taking these nutrients! I am excited to try a second formula too since they work well together.
Birth Control Support™
Practitioner Formulated. Third-Party Tested.
Daily targeted nutrient support, formulated for women taking birth control.
Medications Supported:
30-day supply every 4 weeks
Clinical Ingredients:
Clinical research shows folate levels decline with birth control use, a concern given folate's role in red blood cell production and neurological integrity. Quatrefolic® is selected for its clinically proven bioavailability.
B12 levels have consistently been shown to be impacted by long-term oral contraceptive use. Methylated B12 is the most bioavailable form ensuring proper uptake.
B6 depletion is often observed with oral contraceptive use, affecting mood regulation and pathways linked to blood clot risk. Combining both active (P-5-P) and reserve forms ensures maximum uptake.
Magnesium availability can be reduced with OC use, affecting daily energy and stress response. Albion® Glycinate is selected for its clinically validated TRAACS® chelation and gastrointestinal tolerability.
Zinc levels have been shown to be lower with oral contraceptive use, a concern given zinc’s role in immune balance and skin health. Albion® is selected for its clinically validated TRAACS® chelation.
Riboflavin activity is reduced with oral contraceptive use, a concern given its role in activating other B vitamins and supporting neurological function. R-5-P is the most active form of B2, ensuring absorption.
Vitamin C levels within immune cells are lower with oral contraceptive use, affecting antioxidant defense and cellular protection. Ascorbic acid is used for direct, reliable nutrient uptake.
Vitamin E demand may increase with oral contraceptive use due to heightened oxidative stress affecting cellular membranes. Mixed tocopherols provide broader antioxidant coverage.
Selenium status may be affected with oral contraceptive use, impacting antioxidant and thyroid-related function. Albion® Selenium Glycinate is selected for its clinically validated chelation.
B1 levels may be affected with oral contraceptive use, impacting energy and ability to focus. Thiamine hydrochloride is selected for reliable daily replenishment.
L-Tyrosine has been shown to be significantly lower in women using oral contraceptives, a concern given its role as a precursor to norepinephrine involved in mood regulation.
AbsorbEase™ is our proprietary delivery system developed to enhance nutrient absorption.
How to Use:
Take 1 capsule daily with food, in the AM.
