We explored the impact of folic acid combined with ferrous bisglycinate on nausea in pregnant women facing iron deficiency. In a controlled trial involving 120 participants, we discovered that the group taking ferrous bisglycinate with folinic acid reported significantly fewer instances of nausea and other discomforts compared to those receiving a standard iron supplement.
Both groups saw improvements in iron status and related blood markers over six months, but our findings clearly indicated that the test group had a more tolerable experience. Folic acid may play a vital role in making iron supplementation easier for pregnant women.

We set out to explore how a telephonic intervention could improve adherence to iron and folic acid supplements among pregnant women suffering from anemia. This study involved 286 participants who received phone reminders and messages for one month.
The results showed that the intervention significantly boosted adherence, tripling participation in the experimental group compared to a slight increase in the control group. Moreover, the telephonic support also helped reduce side effects and improved hemoglobin levels. Overall, the findings suggest that incorporating phone calls can support better health outcomes for pregnant women.

Nutrient types largely unaffected symptoms
We investigated the effects of different nutrient supplements on nausea and other illness symptoms in pregnant and postpartum women in Ghana and Malawi. Over the study period, we compared the health of mothers receiving iron and folic acid, multiple micronutrients, and small-quantity lipid-based nutrient supplements.
While most symptoms remained similar across groups, we found that in Ghana, vomiting was less common in the lipid-based nutrient group compared to the micronutrient group. However, nausea rates were highest among the lipid-based and micronutrient groups versus those taking iron and folic acid. Overall, the type of supplement didn’t significantly change women's experience of sickness during and after pregnancy.

Excellent! I used to take cheap pharmacy foil, but now I exclusively take this one. It’s essential both for nerves and at a climax, as well as for the assimilation of vitamins B12 and iron. I drink one a day, and sometimes two. There is no nausea.

I ordered this for the second time. The form and dosage are convenient; there's no nausea from taking it, unlike the pharmacy version. One package lasts quite a while.

Vitamin B12's role in nausea unclear
We explored the role of vitamin B12 in treating nausea related to cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT). In a case study involving a 28-year-old man, we noted that after undergoing treatment with heparin, warfarin, and vitamin B12, his nausea improved along with his persistent headache symptoms.
Although we observed positive outcomes associated with this vitamin, it was part of a broader treatment approach rather than a standalone intervention. The study indicated that the combination of these treatments effectively alleviated nausea, but we cannot draw firm conclusions on vitamin B12's isolated impact due to the lack of control or blinding in the study design.
Overall, while vitamin B12 may have contributed to symptom relief, we must recognize that its specific role remains uncertain within the context of CVT treatment. Further studies would be needed to better define its effectiveness solely for nausea.

I took this drug as part of complex therapy while my dad was on methotrexate for rheumatoid arthritis. Folic acid is crucial as it mitigates many side effects, which previously included nausea. The pharmaceutical folic acid did not perform well, leading to persistent nausea, but upon consulting a rheumatologist, this specific drug was recommended. We shall see the results.

Hangover relief
This helps with hangovers! I take one tablet daily, and I've observed a significant change. Previously, after consuming strong drinks, I felt terribly sick, experiencing headaches, weakness, and nausea. Since I started taking folic acid, I feel fine the next day, which is a tremendous improvement. I highly recommend it!
