Are there any vitamins that make birth control less effective?!
Question: I'm going to start a strict vitamin regimen and I want to take a couple different kinds.
I know antibiotics can decrease the effectiveness of birth control.
I'm currently taking Yaz, and it is important not to jeopardize the effectiveness (well, for the obvious) but also because I get dangerous ovarian cysts if I miss even a couple pills at the right time.
Any recommendations on a multi vitamin would be appreciated as well.
Stats:
Female, 21; 138 lbs; Active (gym, everyday)
Oh and I live in the LA basin, so I need some immune system defense.
Thanks for your help!

I have NEVER heard of vitamins causing the effectiveness of birth control to go down... I do know that some herbs will cause it to be less efftive... such as st. johns wart... But normal viatmins shouldn't considering normally no matter what you eat has some sort of vitamins in it
No, they are completely unrelated. The only issue with the pill (aside from what your doctor tells you) is that if you vomit or have diahrrea the pill will be flushed out of your body as well.
