Ginger and Pregnancy: Effective Against Morning Sickness? Safety and Dosage

Ginger during pregnancy: what science says

Morning sickness affects up to 80% of pregnant women. Ginger is one of the few natural remedies validated by clinical studies for its relief.

Proven efficacy

  • Viljoen et al. (2014) — Meta-analysis of 12 randomized trials: ginger significantly reduces pregnancy nausea vs placebo.
  • WHO & ACOG — Ginger is recommended as a first-line treatment for mild to moderate pregnancy nausea.
  • Dosage studied — 1 to 1.5g of ginger per day, divided into 2-3 doses.

Safety

Studies have shown no increased risk to the fetus at recommended dosages. Ginger is considered safe during pregnancy by health authorities.

The importance of sugar-free

Gestational diabetes is a real risk during pregnancy. Consuming a ginger shot with 34g of sugar per 100ml unnecessarily increases glycemic intake. Opt for a shot with no added sugar.

Our recommendation

INTI — Belgian organic ginger shot, zero added sugar. Triple formula with turmeric and turmeric-2026">black pepper. Consult your doctor before starting any supplementation during pregnancy.
