Around ๐ฐ๐ฌ๐ด ๐บ๐ถ๐น๐น๐ถ๐ผ๐ป women of reproductive age worldwide use hormonal methods, about 14% of women between 18 and 44 years are currently on hormonal birth control.* โThe pillโ is the second most common short-acting contraceptive method globally, with particularly high use in in Northern Africa, Latin America, and Oceania.
Combined oral contraceptives have been linked to reduced intestinal absorption and greater turnover of several micronutrients - including vitamins B2, B6, B12, vitamin C, vitamin E, folate, magnesium, selenium and zinc and may affect nutrient status in women.**
๐ช๐ต๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐บ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ - the importance of micronutrients in the body:
๐ฆ๐ธ๐ถ๐ป - maintenance of normal skin (B2, zinc, niacin, biotin)
๐๐ป๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ด๐ - reduction of tiredness and fatigue and support of energy-yielding metabolism (B2, B6, B12)
๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ Health- maintenance of normal bones (calcium, phosphorus, magnesium)

๐ช๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐บ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐บ๐ผ๐๐: Demand for modern contraception is least satisfied in large parts of sub-Saharan Africa, South-East Asia, Eastern Europe, Central Asia and the Arab States. These high-growth regions often show higher rates of micronutrient inadequacy, making nutritional support especially relevant as Oral Conception uptake expands.
Itโs still an overlooked topic with real everyday impact. Curious for a solution? Next post weโll share our premix concept tailored for women on hormonal contraceptives.
