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.

Energised feeling
After taking this time-release vitamin C, I feel truly energised, and it surprisingly doesn’t cause any side effects on my stomach. I usually experience nausea with vitamin C, but not this time.

No side effects
These have worked exceptionally well for me, with no side effects or nausea. The pills are slightly large but manageable to swallow. The high dosage is recommended for my mast cell activation syndrome, allowing me to take fewer pills.

Good composition! The delivery was fast, and the packaging is top-notch. Although the capsules are a bit large, swallowing isn’t an issue and they have a pleasant citrus taste. I take one capsule daily with meals, and I've noticed a marked improvement in headaches, nausea, and fatigue. I feel energised and have an excellent mood throughout the day. Highly recommend it!

MY IMPRESSIONS. The tablets are hard to swallow and may scratch the throat a bit, but I soon got used to it. Don't try to take these pills on an empty stomach; they can be hard to handle and can result in heaviness in the stomach and mild nausea. When I catch the first signs of a cold, I take 2 pills and then one a day. The effect is noticeable the next morning. I also take vitamin C regularly to prevent illness, and it has proven effective. I feel more energised, calm, and my skin has improved too.
