i know antibiotics can decrease its effectiveness. I don’t think I take any supplements that might hinder it (just take common things like calcium, Coenzyme Q10, and spirulina)) just curious! I’m also on an antidepressant for anxiety called Effexor, couldn’t find anything about if it affects the pill. More a question based on my curiousity than my personal fears. Thanks!
