We conducted a double-masked, placebo-controlled trial involving 15,832 Nepali women to explore how vitamin A and beta-carotene supplementation affects pregnancy-related nausea and overall illness symptoms. Our observations showed that while there was no noticeable impact during the early stages of pregnancy, vitamin A supplementation made a significant difference in late pregnancy.
Specifically, we found that women who received vitamin A experienced a reduction in nausea. Additionally, symptoms such as faintness and night blindness were also less prevalent in those women. Beta-carotene supplementation did not yield the same benefits for nausea, highlighting the unique role of vitamin A in managing these symptoms.
Moreover, supplementation with vitamin A contributed to a shorter labor duration, which is promising for expectant mothers. It also helped reduce the postpartum risks of conditions like night blindness and loose stools. Overall, our findings indicate that ensuring adequate vitamin A intake can be important for improving reproductive health in women, particularly in areas with limited healthcare access.

Nausea from dosage
The right vitamin! However, the dosage is excessive for children. I purchased it for my 5 and 8-year-olds because, with the onset of chilly autumn, their feet began to peel. A doctor advised vitamin A, so I ordered it. I started administering one capsule daily, but the youngest had a rash on her face, and nosebleeds followed for several days until I stopped the vitamin A! Now, I'm hesitant to give it again! The older child experienced nausea from this dosage. We need vitamin A, but I will look for alternative dosages.
