Yes, many prescription drugs actually deplete B-vitamins from the body, including birth control pills, certain diabetes, epilepsy, blood pressure and ulcer medications, steroids, and antibiotics—even over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen. People using these kinds of drugs must be especially vigilant about making sure they are getting enough B-vitamins.

Some people may have difficulties with B-vitamin conversion if they have concerns with healthy blood pressure levels and energy overall, but they may also want to consider having their blood levels of homocysteine tested by a licensed healthcare practitioner. The results may indicate that they need a more efficient form of B-vitamin supplementation, which BioActive Vitamin B™ can provide.
