The first trimester is a critical time as all the baby’s major organs take shape. Your body will also undergo significant hormonal changes to accommodate the new baby. As a result, you will start to notice common symptoms of pregnancy such as breast tenderness, fatigue, increased vaginal discharge, and morning sickness.

Many women who suffer from morning sickness are given prescription drugs such as antihistamines (dimenhydrinate, promethazine and doxylamine) by their doctors. However, these drugs have many side effects such as drowsiness, blurry vision, headaches, urinary retention, and many more. Prenatal Ease Stage 1 does not contain any antihistamines, and instead contains premium grade ginger.

Ginger has been used for thousands of years by many cultures. It is heavily used in Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine, to treat dyspepsia and colic. Today, ginger is known to be effective in treating motion sickness, postoperative nausea and morning sickness. Ginger is also recommended by The Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada (SOGC) in managing morning sickness.

Many studies also suggest another cause of morning sickness is the high levels of iron in many “one-size-fits-all” prenatal multivitamins. However, having too much iron during the first trimester is unnecessary. The biggest demand for iron is actually in the second or third trimester where your blood volume increases dramatically.

Prenatal Ease Stage 1 contains just enough iron for a healthy pregnancy, but not high enough to cause morning sickness, and constipation. Prenatal Ease Stage 1 follows all the latest recommendations by The Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada in managing morning sickness.

Can I take Prenatal Ease Stage 1 even if I do not suffer from morning sickness?

Yes. Prenatal Ease Stage 1 contains all the essential minerals and vitamins that are essential to a healthy pregnancy.

Can I take Prenatal Ease Stage 1 if I am not in the first trimester?

Yes. Although Prenatal Ease Stage 1 is optimized for the first trimester, it is safe to be taken at any stage of pregnancy. However, for the best results, Stage 1 should be taken during first trimester.

What happens if I missed a dose?

Missing a dose will not cause any harm. Simply take the next scheduled dose as normal. You should not take more than the recommended amount on subsequent days to make up for any day(s) that you have missed.

Is Prenatal Ease Stage 1 suitable for vegetarians?

Yes. Prenatal Ease Stage 1 does not use any ingredients that come from animal sources.

How do I take Prenatal Ease Stage 1?

The recommended dose for Prenatal Ease Stage 1 is one capsule twice daily. Twice daily dosing will ensure that you get the maximum benefit of the ginger and also allows for a smaller capsule to be used, making it a lot easier to swallow than other prenatal multivitamins.

This medication should be taken with food and plenty of water since this will maximize the absorption of nutrients. Take a few hours before or after taking other medications.

How long does each bottle last?

There are 90 capsules in each bottle. Each bottle will last you 45 days or half of a trimester.

Can I open up the capsules and mix it with food?

Yes, you can open up the capsules and sprinkle it into any soft food of your choice. Common examples of soft foods include yogurt, honey, porridge, applesauce or jam.
