Does Intake Of Supplements Affect The Effectiveness Of Implanon?

Hi, Ive had the implanon for over a year now but recently have changed my diet. Im curious if vitamin c, iron, calcium magnesium supplements affect it?! Also live cultured yogurts and protein supplements like c4 and protein powder? Do those take effect on the birth controls effectiveness?
