Vitamin C ineffective against nausea
We explored the effects of vitamin C as a treatment for nausea and vomiting in pregnancy, also known as emesis gravidarum. Our study involved 111 participants, who were given either vitamin C-containing chewing gum, a placebo, or no treatment at all. We monitored them over two follow-up visits in early pregnancy to assess their symptoms.
While we measured various factors that could influence nausea—including hormone levels like hCG and DAO—our findings showed that the chewing gum did not effectively reduce nausea symptoms compared to the placebo or no treatment. Specifically, the vitamin C gum was not associated with any significant alleviation of nausea or vomiting.
Interestingly, we found that elevated levels of hCG were linked to increased nausea severity. In contrast, higher levels of DAO appeared to have a protective effect against symptoms. Additionally, elevated thyroxine and pyridoxine levels correlated with worsened nausea.
Overall, while vitamin C is often highlighted for its health benefits, our results suggest it does not play a significant role in treating nausea during pregnancy. This study highlights the complexities behind nausea in pregnancy, indicating that further research is necessary to uncover effective treatment options.

Relieved nausea concerns
I received my order promptly; the packaging was high-quality and everything intact. The capsules are a bit large but easy to swallow with a citrus taste. I've been taking one capsule daily with meals and have noticed significant benefits. Previously, I struggled with headaches, nausea, and fatigue, but now I feel energised, headaches have ceased, and my mood is excellent. This supplement is ideal for those interested in sports or diets.

No nausea experience
These tablets are of good quality: smooth, oval, and not overly large. They are easily digested, with no aftertaste or bitterness that might cause nausea. I recommend them, as other round chalk-coated tablets tend to be bitter and sticky. I will keep choosing these, especially the rosehip variant they provide.
