Nutrient supplements and nausea study
Prevalence of morbidity symptoms among pregnant and postpartum women receiving different nutrient supplements in Ghana and Malawi: A secondary outcome analysis of two randomised controlled trials.
Nausea linked to folate usage
We observed the effects of various nutrient supplements, including folate, on nausea in pregnant and postpartum women in Ghana and Malawi. Participants in our study were given different types of supplements, with some receiving iron and folic acid, while others received multiple micronutrients or small-quantity lipid-based nutrient supplements.
Throughout the study, which followed the women from early pregnancy to six months postpartum, we monitored symptoms like nausea and vomiting among the groups. Interestingly, we found that the overall prevalence of vomiting was lower in the group receiving lipid-based nutrient supplements compared to those taking multiple micronutrients. However, the mean number of days women experienced nausea was higher in those taking lipid-based nutrients and multiple micronutrients compared to the iron and folic acid group.
Importantly, while we gained insights into how nutrition affects maternal health, we did not find strong evidence that the type of nutrient supplements consistently influenced nausea during pregnancy or the postpartum period. This suggests that folate’s effects on nausea may not be significant in isolation or within the context of the supplements studied.

Nausea alleviated
A year ago, I discovered a problem related to the gene responsible for folic acid absorption. The doctor mentioned a drug called metapholin, which I struggled to find. I was thrilled to find it here! Though I haven't checked my homocysteine levels yet, the persistent nausea I experienced has vanished. I plan to get tested soon and will update on the results. 👍

No nausea experienced
For pregnancy preparation, I purchased this product twice as a source of folic acid. The quantity was satisfactory and the price reasonable, so I took both. I experienced no nausea or adverse reactions.

Recommendation against nausea
This folic acid option is excellent, especially for those planning or during pregnancy. The dosage (800-1000 mcg) is ideal for women in preparation, and it’s an easily digestible form. The price is reasonable, and it offers more benefits than cheaper alternatives. The tablets are small, easy to swallow, and taking just one per day doesn’t cause any nausea. I definitely recommend purchasing it.

Effective absorption noted
I'm satisfied with this product! The form is highly bioavailable—filat is absorbed better than regular folic acid and does not induce any nausea.
