Contraceptives
Can I Take Gigi While on Hormonal Contraception?
Yes! Whether you are on the oral contraceptive pill (OCP), the contraceptive bar (implant) or any other form of hormonal contraception, Gigi is formulated to be safe and effective alongside it.
Why Gigi Works So Well Alongside Hormonal Contraception
Hormonal contraception is brilliant at doing its job - but it is well documented that it can deplete certain key nutrients in the body over time. This can show up as low mood, fatigue, poor sleep, hormonal breakouts, low energy and even increased PMS-like symptoms.
Gigi is specifically formulated with the nutrients that hormonal contraception is known to deplete, helping to replenish and support your body from the inside.
The Key Nutrients and Why They Matter
Magnesium Bisglycinate - 300mg Hormonal contraception is one of the most well-known causes of magnesium depletion. Low magnesium can contribute to anxiety, poor sleep, low mood, muscle cramping and fatigue. Our magnesium bisglycinate is the most absorbable form available.
B Vitamins - B1, B2, B6, B3, Biotin, Folate The pill and other hormonal contraceptives are well documented to deplete B vitamins, particularly B6. B6 plays a key role in mood, energy production and hormone regulation. Our full B complex helps restore these levels and support your nervous system.
Zinc Bisglycinate - 15mg Zinc is another nutrient commonly depleted by hormonal contraception. It plays an important role in skin health, immunity and hormonal balance - particularly helpful if you experience hormonal breakouts.
Inositol - 2000mg Supports blood sugar balance, cycle regularity and mood - particularly helpful for managing cravings and energy dips.
Vitamin D - 2000IU Supports immune function, bone health and mood, all of which can be impacted by hormonal contraception over time.
What Our Customers Say
Many Gigi customers on the pill, implant or other hormonal contraception notice a real difference in their energy, mood and skin within just a couple of cycles of consistent daily use.
A Note on Safety
Gigi does not interfere with how your contraception works. It is not a contraceptive and will not affect the efficacy of the pill, implant or bar.
As with any new supplement, we always recommend keeping your GP or healthcare provider in the loop - particularly if you are on any other medication alongside your contraception.

If you are on hormonal contraception and not trying to conceive, our PMS & Hormone Balance Blend is the perfect fit - available in Blood Orange, Berry and Lemon.
