I read somewhere online that taking vitamin C while on birth control can cause the pill to be less effective. However, I've also seen other facts stating that vitamin C is necessary to take on birth control due to definciency! I take a dosage of 1000mg vitamin C in the morning along with my pill; should I be worried about my pill not working as well? I am taking Tri-lo Marzia and I'm not taking any other medication that could alter my birth control and I take it consistently. Thank you!!

Hi Jellyfish,

You can read about what does and does not interfere with birth control in this article: Something You Can Worry About Less: Interference and Hormonal Birth Control

Thank you! So basically, taking supplements would qualify as like food or water taken with my pill and therefore not interact?

Yes, unless it's listed under the category of things that can interfere, you can assume it's equal to taking something like food or water.
