When it comes to managing nausea, some evidence suggests that certain supplements may have a supportive role. For instance, research has indicated that omega-3 fatty acids, particularly from fish oil, could help alleviate symptoms associated with nausea, especially in specific populations such as lung cancer patients. In a study involving this group, omega-3 supplementation improved symptoms like appetite and fatigue, offering some indirect benefits related to nausea management [2]. However, it’s also worth noting that omega-3s can cause gastrointestinal issues in some users, including nausea, indicating a complex relationship between these supplements and their effects [1].
Additionally, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a type of omega-3 fatty acid, showed promise in lowering the risk of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, particularly for women also experiencing painful menstrual symptoms [4]. Overall, while these supplements may offer some supportive benefits for those experiencing nausea, further research is needed to establish their efficacy fully and determine who might benefit the most from their use.
