Does melatonin affect my birth control?

Nope! I’ve posted previously on the medications that interfere with birth control, but the major supplements to avoid while on birth control are St. John’s wort, saw palmetto, alfalfa, garlic pills and flaxseed. And when we use the term “supplement” it refers to a large concentrated dose of something, not like having garlic in your pasta sauce.
