  • Article: 10 Proven Benefits of Prenatal Vitamins & Why Do Vitamins Make Me Nauseous?

  • Answer: Most people do best with food; take it at a consistent time (AM with breakfast or PM if nausea is worse in the morning), according to Perelel's medical guidance. If you're particularly sensitive to the smell or taste of your vitamins, especially during the first trimester, they suggest taking them before bed instead. To minimize nausea, it's advised not to take vitamins on an empty stomach or before exercise. Splitting your vitamin intake between breakfast and dinner can also help alleviate discomfort. The key is finding a consistent time that works with your schedule and digestive system while ensuring you take them with food for optimal absorption. 

Perelel's 1st Trimester Prenatal Powder can be mixed into smoothies or drinks at any time of day, making it easier to take with food and reducing pill-related nausea for those sensitive to swallowing capsules.
