Iron treatment eases nausea in pregnancy
Efficacy and Safety of Microsomal Ferric Pyrophosphate Supplement for Iron Deficiency Anemia in Pregnancy.
Significant improvements noted
We conducted a study to examine the effectiveness of a specific iron supplement, emulsified microsomal ferric pyrophosphate (EMFP), in treating iron deficiency anemia among pregnant women. Our focus was not only on improving hemoglobin levels but also on alleviating related symptoms, including nausea.
Within 30 days of starting treatment with EMFP, we observed significant increases in hemoglobin levels, alongside marked improvements in serum ferritin and iron levels. As nausea is a common complaint among pregnant women, we noted a decrease in various symptoms, including nausea, breathlessness, and dizziness, which contributed to a better quality of life for the participants.
Notably, treatment compliance was remarkably high at 99.5%, indicating that the participants were committed to managing their anemia effectively. Importantly, we did not encounter any severe side effects related to the treatment, suggesting a favorable safety profile.
Overall, our findings support the idea that iron treatment can help alleviate nausea and other discomforts related to iron deficiency anemia in pregnancy, positively impacting both mother and baby.

Daily vs. TIW iron supplementation
Daily versus three times weekly dosing for treatment of iron deficiency nonanemia in NCAA Division 1 female athletes.
Moderate relevance to nausea effects
We explored the effects of daily versus three times weekly (TIW) oral iron supplementation on nausea in NCAA Division 1 female athletes. The study involved 33 athletes who were either in track and field or soccer. Participants were given either daily doses or TIW doses of ferrous bisglycinate over eight weeks.
Both groups showed an increase in serum ferritin levels, which is a marker of iron stores. However, the TIW regimen resulted in a smaller increase of about 5.17 μg/L, compared to an increase of 12.88 μg/L with the daily regimen. Notably, those taking daily supplements experienced significantly more nausea and constipation than those on the TIW schedule.
While the daily regimen may boost iron levels more effectively, it can come at the cost of increased gastrointestinal discomfort. Meanwhile, the TIW regimen offers a gentler option with fewer side effects, positioning it as a viable alternative for athletes concerned about nausea.

No nausea experienced
I have dealt with iron deficiency anaemia my entire adult life. I usually maintain my iron levels through diet but turned to Solgar's Gentle Iron when my haemoglobin fell to critical levels. It has low toxicity and is well-absorbed, unlike other supplements that upset my stomach. After taking it, my dizziness and darkening vision when standing quickly improved. I experienced no nausea or pain for five months. I recommend taking iron at night, avoiding food before and after, and combining it with vitamin C.

Nausea absent
I took this iron for seven days post-menstruation, and I no longer felt dizzy. I suggest testing for ferritin levels. I did not experience nausea or any side effects. I am satisfied, as I used to get cold easily, which is a sign of low iron.

Well tolerated
Excellent product! I have thalassemia and need continuous iron. Unlike many others, this one does not cause nausea or belly pain, making it easy to tolerate.

Effective without discomfort
The best supplement from iHerb! It raises ferritin without any adverse effects. I didn’t experience nausea, constipation, or stomach pain while taking it.

No nausea noted
Excellent! I bought this for my daughter, who has low haemoglobin. Iron supplements usually cause her vomiting or nausea, but she had none with this chelated form. Her haemoglobin has significantly improved. Highly recommend!

I have signs of anaemia and have tried various pharmaceutical preparations that caused nausea. This iron supplement works brilliantly for me without any aversions or nausea.
