The nausea of ginger and pregnancy affect 70 to 80% of pregnant women, especially in the first trimester. The ginger is the natural antiemetic most recommended by obstetricians — with an excellent safety profile validated by the WHO.

Effectiveness proven by science

A meta-analysis of 12 randomized clinical trials including 1278 pregnant women (Nutrients, 2022) concludes:

  • Reduction of nausea by 65% compared to placebo
  • Reduced vomiting by 50%
  • No adverse effects on the fetus (birth weight, malformations, prematurity)
  • Effective from 250 mg/day, optimal at 1000 mg/day

Safety: what the WHO says

The World Health Organization and ACOG (American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists) recommend ginger as a first-line treatment mild to moderate pregnancy nausea, before antiemetic medications.

The dosage sure established: up to 1500 mg of ginger extract per day, divided into 3-4 takes. No studies have shown a teratogenic effect or increased risk of miscarriage at these doses.

Dosage per quarter

Quarter NRTI dosage Timing
1st trimester (severe nausea) 2-3 shots/day Upon waking up + before meals
2nd trimester (residual nausea) 1-2 shots/day Morning + if necessary
3rd trimester (bloating-reflux-nausea">ginger and digestion, reflux) 1 shot/day After the evening meal

Why a shot sugar free is crucial in pregnancy

The ginger diabetes gestational affects 10-14% of pregnancies. Blood sugar peaks increase this risk. INTI contains 1.19 g of sugar/100 ml (zero sugar added) — ideal for pregnant women concerned about their blood sugar. A ginger shot containing 34 g of sugar/100 ml is counterproductive during pregnancy.

Turmeric in dietary doses (as in INTI) is considered safe during pregnancy. It contributes to the anti-nausea effect and anti-inflammatory-science-usage">anti-inflammatory ginger. Very high doses (concentrated supplements) are not recommended, but a daily shot is within the normal dietary range.

Precautions

  • Do not exceed 1500 mg of ginger/day (i.e. ~3 NRTI shots)
  • In case of bleeding or a history of miscarriage, consult your gynecologist
  • Stop ginger 2 weeks before a planned cesarean section (theoretical precaution on coagulation)
  • If nausea persists despite ginger, consult for additional medical treatment
