The oral contraceptive pill provides great contraception for many women. Some women also take it to regulate polycystic ovaries.


However, taking the contraceptive pill does shut down your own ovarian function and can also deplete certain nutrients in the body.


These are the supplements I would recommend if you’re taking the pill:

  • Magnesium

  • B Vitamins, especially folic acid and B6

  • Zinc

  • Vitamin C


However, Vitamin A levels seem to improve, so you probably don’t need extra supplements for that.


It’s also important to remember that as the ovarian production of hormones are shut off, testosterone can be lowered. Testosterone is an important hormone for mood, energy, strength, focus, concentration and motivation. It is possible to supplement this if needed.

The article is quite helpful for someone who is completely new to this bdggame. I liked that the register process is explained before the login steps, as that makes the whole process easier to follow. The download instructions are also useful if someone wants to use the game on a mobile device. Having online access information in the same guide saves time and makes it easier to understand the platform.
