Nutrient Depletion Counseling
At Rx Express of Tillmans Corner, we understand that medications can have effects beyond their primary purpose. Some prescription and over-the-counter medications can lead to nutrient depletion, which can impact your overall health if not addressed. Our Nutrient Depletion Counseling services help patients in Mobile, Alabama, identify potential nutrient gaps, prevent deficiencies, and maintain optimal wellness through guidance and support. At Rx Express, we’re committed to helping you maintain your wellness and prevent nutrient deficiencies before they become a problem.
What is Nutrient Depletion?
Nutrient depletion occurs when medications interfere with your body’s ability to absorb, store, or utilize essential vitamins and minerals. Over time, this can lead to deficiencies, which may affect energy levels, immune function, bone health, and overall quality of life.
Common medications that may contribute to nutrient depletion include:
Proton Pump Inhibitors
Can reduce absorption of magnesium, calcium, and vitamin B12.
Diuretics
May lead to loss of potassium, magnesium, or sodium.
Statins
Can have an affect on coenzyme Q10 levels.
Certain antibiotics
May impact gut bacteria, affecting vitamin K and other nutrients.
Corticosteroids
May deplete calcium and vitamin D, increasing risk of bone loss.
Our pharmacists provide personalized counseling to ensure that you are aware of these risks and take proactive steps to maintain balanced nutrient levels.
Why Nutrient Depletion Counseling is Important
Ignoring nutrient depletion can lead to a range of health issues, including fatigue, weakened immunity, poor bone health, and slower recovery from illness or injury. By identifying potential nutrient gaps early, Rx Express Pharmacy of Tillmans Corner helps patients prevent complications and optimize the benefits of their medications.
Through counseling, we provide:
Comprehensive Assessment

Who Can Benefit from Nutrient Depletion Counseling?
