Supplements For ACE Inhibitor Induced Nutrient Depletions & Interactions:

Zinc: ACE inhibitors deplete zinc. [PMC5874849] If you take any of the ACE inhibitors, your multivitamin should include 11mg of Zinc. [PMID: 16819574]
Potassium: DO NOT USE POTASSIUM-BASED SALT SUBSTITUTES. ACE inhibitors can reduce potassium clearance by the kidneys. This can cause excessive potassium to build up in the blood and can lead to irregular heartbeat when very high levels of potassium are consumed. Don’t use potassium supplements (or electrolyte drinks) without your physician’s approval.
CoQ10 and Fish Oil can reduce blood pressure. If you are taking blood pressure medicines, be careful to monitor blood pressure when adding CoQ10 or Fish Oil.
Garlic, Ginkgo biloba & St. John’s Wort: These have the potential to affect the metabolism or clearance of blood pressure medicines. Consult your physician.
