10 Best Products for Morning Sickness of 2024

Prince of Peace ginger chews come individually wrapped, so the pieces do not stick together, and you can keep a few floating around in your purse “just in case.”

As a ginger-flavored product, it has that peppery, spicy taste you would expect, but it’s not overwhelming like some ginger-flavored products.

There are only four ingredients in these chews: cane sugar, ginger, tapioca starch, and coconut oil, but there is no taste from the tapioca or coconut, just the ginger. There are no artificial additives or preservatives to worry about, but they are not organic, which keeps the price affordable.

In addition, they are not covered in pregnancy or even nausea references, so it’s easy to be discreet, which is especially important if you’re not ready to share your news with anyone just yet.

Suffering from morning sickness can leave you worried about getting enough nutrients for you and your baby. Boost provides 27 vitamins and minerals and 240 calories in a small bottle, which is perfect if you can’t keep a lot down.

Another great feature is that these particular Boost shakes are high in protein and have added fiber, both of which are shown to help with morning sickness.

The fiber may help clear nausea-inducing chemicals out of your body. But there’s not so much fiber that it slows down your digestive system, making the morning sickness worse.

A lack of protein can also increase nausea. The protein hit from Boost shakes can reduce the effects of low-protein-induced morning sickness while remaining easy to digest.

For some people, vitamin B6 helps to relieve or even eliminate morning sickness entirely. B6 is needed for the production of norepinephrine and serotonin, which are essential neurotransmitters, and it is thought that this rise in chemicals in your brain helps relieve nausea ⁽¹⁾.

Vitamin B6 is thought to help with morning sickness, but it is also possible to take too much of this vitamin. That’s why we like Solgar’s B6. The dose is high enough to be effective but low enough that taking two a day keeps you at half the level for potential danger.

This takes us to the importance of consulting your doctor.

While vitamins are needed, even the most naturally produced options, such as Solgar, can cause damage or illness if they are not taken correctly. Never take any supplement while pregnant without consulting a doctor first.

Simple Mills crackers are made with a mixture of almond, sunflower seed, and flaxseed flour with tapioca starch, cassava flour, and sunflower oil thrown in too. They are flavored with sea salt, organic onion, and organic garlic for flavor.

Although they include rosemary extract, you can’t taste it. So if you don’t like rosemary, there’s no reason to avoid this option.

The crackers themselves are salty, but not overwhelmingly so, and have a light, crisp feel. This means it’s easy to eat a small number of crackers without suddenly tipping into “oh no, I shouldn’t have eaten that last one” territory!

You can safely keep a box next to the bed because they don’t have a strong smell to greet you first thing in the morning.

Even if you are not especially concerned about eating organic foods or whether or not your food comes from genetically modified sources, it’s good to know that these ginger gummies from Megafood do not contain anything known to be potentially harmful.

The sweetener is organic cane sugar, and the maximum of two gummies a day will cost you 4% of your daily recommended amount of sugar allowance.

However, that recommended daily limit of two gummies is why this didn’t make it a five-star morning sickness product. Not because they aren’t fabulous — they are — but because they’re a vitamin product, and you cannot chew through as many as you want.

This limits how effective they might be if you have constant, all-day nausea, although you can supplement your morning sickness treatment treasure chest with other options.

Oat Mama was founded by two moms who wanted to create products for pregnancy, postpartum, and breastfeeding that they would like to use themselves. The business is still owned and run by the same pair who started it, and they have a hand in every new product.

The morning sickness tea is one of a range of teas. The other three in the line are all trimester-specific.

This lemon tea has a strong but not unpleasant, zesty lemon aroma when you open the packaging, but the smell is greatly diminished by the time you have brewed your tea. This is not a problem unless you are hoping for a tea you can enjoy smelling as you drink.

The tea also contains ginger, but this appears to be for the stomach-calming property and not for taste as we couldn’t detect even a hint of gingery spiciness.

These hard candy drops from UpSpring contain ginger but taste strongly of mint, so if you are sensitive to any particular smell or flavor, that is the one you have to worry about.

Because the drops contain B6, you can’t consume unlimited amounts. The packaging recommends a maximum of four a day. However, this is based on the average non-pregnant adult, so, as with other items containing nutritional supplements, check with your doctor before trying these drops.

These aren’t at the top of our list because of the high price for the number of drops in the package. But many people swear by them, so they are worth a try if you’re dealing with unrelenting morning sickness.

Don’t be fooled. Although this essential oil roller is labeled as a product for vertigo relief, in reality, it is effective for any kind of nausea, including morning sickness.

Many of the morning sickness products we’ve tried work brilliantly for one person, but not at all for the next, but this roller seems a little more hit and miss than some other options. It seems to either help a lot or not at all.

Because this product is FSA and HSA eligible, it is certainly worth trying. It is drug-free, so you can use it as often as you like. However, some people find they’re sensitive to the peculiar smell, which is best described as “palm trees.”

Nausea bands are thought to work by applying pressure or an electrical impulse to a specific point on your wrist. In traditional Asian medicine, this is called the “P6” or “nei kuan” point. This is roughly two fingers width from the top crease on the inside of your wrist.

While no one is entirely sure why acupressure and acupuncture work, practitioners say that the application of pressure disrupts, inhibits, or improves the flow of the body’s energy and changes the body’s response to negative stimuli.

Some studies show an improvement in the symptoms of morning sickness in users, while others claim that the only benefits are through the placebo effect.

For example:

• One study found there was no significant difference between those who tried the band and those who did not. The study did find that some women found them helpful ⁽²⁾.
• A second study, with a control group, found acupressure bands did not help at all ⁽³⁾.
• Another study compared the use of nausea bands with vitamin B6 and discovered that there was no difference between the two when it came to relieving morning sickness. However, this study didn’t say whether bands were helpful or not, just that their effect was no different than with vitamin supplements. Therefore, there could be a placebo effect at play in either treatment ⁽⁴⁾.
• Yet another study used a 7-day clinical trial of acupressure bands for morning sickness and found there was a significant improvement in symptoms for women using the bands ⁽⁵⁾.

Either way, it seems to work for enough people that you have a pretty good chance of seeing at least some benefit.

As this is a list of the best products for morning sickness, not the best cures, here’s a product for those people unfortunate enough to find any relief — barf bags.

Yes, you can carry a couple of scrunched-up carrier bags in your pocket, but there are disadvantages to that. It can be tricky to get the bag out of your pocket so you can throw up in it, and the wide opening can be challenging to control.

Finally, and most unfortunately, if you fail to notice a hole in your plastic bag, you’ll be dripping vomit onto the floor before you can do anything about it. (I’m speaking from experience on this point.)

That’s why these barf bags are great. There’s a plastic ring at the top that makes it easy to hold in place. And when you’ve finished emptying your stomach, you simply twist the bag into the notched rim to seal in the vomit and any odors.
