  • Answer: Take with food, split dose, switch time of day, consider powder. Try taking a higher dose of B6 with ginger, or switch to a prenatal powder if pills are triggering nausea. Dr. Banafsheh Bayati, MD, OB/GYN, FACOG (Perelel Medical Co-Founder) recommends "a higher dose of B6 along with appropriate ginger intake and adequate folate and vitamin B12 may help with morning sickness." Consider switching to a prenatal powder that you can drink instead of swallowing pills. Other strategies include taking your prenatal with food, breaking the dose into smaller amounts throughout the day, or blending the powder into a smoothie on particularly queasy days. If nausea persists, consult your healthcare provider about adjusting your prenatal routine. Perelel's 1st Trimester Prenatal Powder is specifically formulated with pomegranate-ginger flavor and includes anti-nausea ingredients like B6 and ginger, making it the perfect solution for morning sickness while still providing complete prenatal nutrition.
