Vitamin A reduces pregnancy nausea
Vitamin A or beta-carotene supplementation reduces symptoms of illness in pregnant and lactating Nepali women.
Strong relevance to nausea findings
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.

Severe nausea
I did not like this product at all. It induced severe nausea, forcing me to vomit each time I took it. I would not recommend it.

Improved energy levels
Good composition, fast delivery, high-quality and convenient packaging. The capsules are slightly large, but there's no issue swallowing them. They have a citrus taste which I enjoy. I take one capsule daily with meals alongside vitamin D3+K2, magnesium, and vitamin B6. I've noticed significant benefits; prior to starting, I often suffered from headaches, nausea, and fatigue. After ten days, I feel more energetic, my headaches have ceased, and my mood remains excellent. I highly recommend it, especially for those interested in sports, fitness, or specific diets, as omega-3 is energising and replenishes essential nutrients.

Skin peeling noted
I've been taking it for eight days, and my skin has begun to peel excessively, even in areas not previously affected, such as my palms and stomach. I've also experienced nausea. Despite this, I hope the vitamin will yield positive results soon.

Nausea after use
I tried Vitamin A without prior consultation with my doctor and would not recommend it. I experienced nausea after using it, which emphasises the importance of professional advice before starting any new supplement.

Nausea experienced
I took it for dry eyes, and while it was suggested for parosmia, it caused me nausea and fatigue, so I discontinued use.
