Drugs DEPLETE your Nutrients

The following is a list of: categories of drugs and the nutrients they depleted. How can taking these drugs benefit the body when they deplete the body of the very nutrients the body requires to function and heal? This list is continuing to evolve.  For more information, read my book:  Your Vital Liver – How to protect your liver from life’s toxins found in:  www.choicesunlimited.ca/store
