The Return to Fertility

A wide and complex variety of B vitamins are essential for the body to convert food into cellular energy. Certain medications like metformin and birth control drugs can hinder our body's ability to get B vitamins from our diets. Low B vitamins can lead to feelings of fatigue, weakness, low mood, headaches, and even PMS. Filling with B vitamins is a very easy way to introduce these essential vitamins back into our systems.
