75+ Scientific Articles and Nutranize Zone Ingredients

Based on scientific evidence

Every ingredient in Nutranize® Zone supports prednisone nutrient repletion.*

Zone counterbalances the effects of prednisone in depleting nutrients or interfering with the metabolism of nutrients.* Prednisone causes nutrient depletion of 9+ nutrients. Dr. Megan created a dietary supplement especially for people on prednisone, Nutranize Zone for Prednisone, to give back the nutrients prednisone steals.

Find 75+ Scientific Articles Below

Click on the Zone ingredient name below to find a list of studies showing nutrient depletion caused by prednisone. The nutrients that prednisone steals from your body include calcium, vitamin D, chromium, magnesium, potassium, folic acid, vitamins A & C, and melatonin, and are shown below with a star (*) next to the nutrient’s name. Ingredients without a star are included to support the needs of people on prednisone.
