We explored the impact of folic acid combined with ferrous bisglycinate on nausea in pregnant women facing iron deficiency. In a controlled trial involving 120 participants, we discovered that the group taking ferrous bisglycinate with folinic acid reported significantly fewer instances of nausea and other discomforts compared to those receiving a standard iron supplement.
Both groups saw improvements in iron status and related blood markers over six months, but our findings clearly indicated that the test group had a more tolerable experience. Folic acid may play a vital role in making iron supplementation easier for pregnant women.

We set out to explore how a telephonic intervention could improve adherence to iron and folic acid supplements among pregnant women suffering from anemia. This study involved 286 participants who received phone reminders and messages for one month.
The results showed that the intervention significantly boosted adherence, tripling participation in the experimental group compared to a slight increase in the control group. Moreover, the telephonic support also helped reduce side effects and improved hemoglobin levels. Overall, the findings suggest that incorporating phone calls can support better health outcomes for pregnant women.

Nutrient types largely unaffected symptoms
We investigated the effects of different nutrient supplements on nausea and other illness symptoms in pregnant and postpartum women in Ghana and Malawi. Over the study period, we compared the health of mothers receiving iron and folic acid, multiple micronutrients, and small-quantity lipid-based nutrient supplements.
While most symptoms remained similar across groups, we found that in Ghana, vomiting was less common in the lipid-based nutrient group compared to the micronutrient group. However, nausea rates were highest among the lipid-based and micronutrient groups versus those taking iron and folic acid. Overall, the type of supplement didn’t significantly change women's experience of sickness during and after pregnancy.
