Micronutrient Depleters: Metformin

Things to know about medicines and micronutrients

by Uwe Gröber and Prof. Dr. Klaus Kisters

Description

This guide provides patients with important medical information about interactions of their drug products with vitamins and minerals. These interactions are not always listed in the accompanying package inserts. Taking the diabetes drug metformin can cause a vitamin B12 deficiency, which causes severe nerve damage. Besides vitamin B12, other micronutrients such as magnesium, coenzyme Q10, vitamin C, vitamin D and chromium can support the therapy with metformin and other diabetes medicines. This way, patients can optimise their treatment, reduce the side effects of their medication and improve their quality of life!
