Does Bio-Selenium + Zinc affect the action of hormonal contraception?
Dear. Does the Prepeat Bio-Selenium+Zinc affect the action of hormonal contraception? The packaging of the supplement states that the content of vitamin C is 113% of the daily intake. I know that vitamin C in excessive amounts can enhance the effect of contraception, and abrupt withdrawal can cause a weakening of this effect. That's why I prefer to make sure. At the same time, thank you for your time and answers. Yours sincerely Justyna

Bio-selenium + zinc will not have a negative impact on the effectiveness of contraception. Information on the composition of the preparation shows that it contains 90 mg of vitamin C - and such a dose does not interfere with the absorption or action of the active substances contained in contraceptive pills. A real threat to maintaining the effectiveness of contraception is taking vitamin C in a daily dose of 1000mg. You can read more about this in the article - https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jakie-leki-oslabiaja-skutecznosc-antykoncepcji. In your case, if the supplement will be used in the amount ordered by the manufacturer and with a minimum of 2-3 hours from contraception - there is no reason to worry.
