Interaction between natural products and my contraception?

26-year-old woman3 years ago
I am starting Arbonne's 30 Days to a Healthy Life Challenge. However, I am wondering if it will impact my birth control. In fact, there is Microbiome Digestion Support, CleanTox Herbal Tea, Prebiotic Fiber and CleanTox Purifier. Since these are natural products that I take during the day and not at the same time as my contraceptive pill (this one is in the evening), is there any risk of interactions?

Hello, thank you for your question!
After researching the ingredients of the product in question, I found that some ingredients could interfere with the activity of your contraceptive, and potentially decrease its effectiveness.
Given the possibility of this interaction, and the lack of data regarding the effectiveness of such a product, I do not suggest that you use it.
Hoping to have helped you, I remain available if there is anything to be done

Hello,
Can I know which products can influence my contraceptive? 🙂

Or is it all these products that can influence my birth control pill?

Because even if I take these different products in the morning, it can influence my contraception that I take in the evening? Just to make sure I understand

There were a few, including milk thistle
And indeed, it is not enough to space the intake of the product and the contraceptive.

I'm not sure I understand. In fact, which of these products are you saying are a contraceptive risk? I was referring to these products from Arbonne's 30 Days to Healthy Living program, Microbiome Digestion Support, CleanTox Herbal Tea, Prebiotic Fiber and CleanTox Cleanse

I could only find solid data for CleanTox. Given the lack of data on the others, it would be safer to avoid them, especially if you want to continue the contraceptive.

Okay,
If I decide to use them anyway, would wearing a condom be a good idea for that month only?
Naji-tom Samaha · 3 years ago
Yes, it is! It would not be a bad idea to put all the chances on your side!

Okay! Thank you for the answers and have a great day :-)
