Did you know some medications can damage cells or tissues, leading to nutrient deficiencies? For example, chemotherapy drugs can damage the cells in the digestive tract, leading to a loss of appetite and malabsorption of nutrients. It is important to talk to your doctor about any potential nutrient deficiencies that may be associated with your medication, she says. They may recommend that you take a supplement to help ensure that you are getting enough of the nutrients your body needs.

Here are some tips for preventing nutrient depletion while taking medications:

Eat a healthy diet that is rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Take a multivitamin and mineral supplement, especially if you are taking a medication that is known to deplete nutrients. Please talk to your doctor about any potential nutrient deficiencies that may be associated with your medication.
