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.

I felt unpleasant all night and vomited. I do not know which magnesium citrate I bought, but I could not sleep with that vigorous nausea. I vomited at dawn and can no longer drink it. It was a waste of money.

Great price for a decent product. They lasted well and were particularly helpful in the morning. There was no taste and, importantly, no nausea. The quality appears good and they lasted as long as advertised.

No nausea while taking
Excellent! Now Foods is a fantastic vitamin C manufacturer. Within a couple of weeks, I felt the effect of taking it! It’s convenient to take just once daily with a glass of clean water during breakfast. There was no nausea or other unpleasant gastrointestinal sensations, unlike the other brands that made me feel sick every morning. I highly recommend it!

Nausea symptoms alleviated
Good composition, fast delivery, and high-quality packaging. The capsules are a little large but easy to swallow. I take 1 capsule daily as a supplement. I’ve noticed the benefits; I was previously worried about headaches and nausea, but after 10 days, I have more energy, headaches have stopped, and my mood is excellent. I recommend it for those interested in fitness or dieting.

No nausea noted
During anaemia treatment, I used this to enhance iron absorption. I am thankful as I can be treated without suffering from nausea caused by iron tablets.

Nausea for both
Very large pills; I had to divide them. They also caused nausea for my husband and me some time after taking them. Next time, I will order Nature's Bounty capsules or gummies.
