Popular Cardiovascular Pharmaceuticals and Associated
Depleted Nutrients

As I mentioned in my November 2009 issue of Heart, Health & Nutrition, pharmaceutical drugs rank high on the list of my “Fifteen Worst Toxins” because they can seriously diminish levels of our bodies’ essential nutrients. For your reference, I’ve compiled a list of the most commonly prescribed drugs for cardiovascular conditions and the corresponding nutrients that may be depleted with their use. If you’re taking any of the following drugs, you should consider supplementing with the associated nutrient(s) to prevent any potential deficiencies.

Type of Cardiovascular Drug Common Drug Names Nutrient(s) Depleted

ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme) Inhibitors Enalapril, Captopril, Ramipril, Lisinopril, and Quinapril Zinc, Sodium, Vitamin B6, Magnesium, Phosphorous, Potassium, and CoQ10
