Morning sickness

It's as much a part of pregnancy as painting the nursery

Nausea and vomiting are common in early pregnancy, affecting 70% to 85% of moms-to-be.1

Once pregnancy-associated symptoms of nausea and vomiting progress, treatment can become challenging. Therefore, treatment in the early stages can be beneficial in supporting a healthy pregnancy.2

Vitamin B6 is recommended by the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) as a safe and effective first-line treatment for pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting.2

Vitamin B6 is good for moms. And it's essential for babies.

For all it does to help expectant moms with morning sickness, vitamin B6 is even more important in fetal development, playing a key role in3:

  • Normal physiological function
  • Supporting macronutrient metabolism
  • Red blood cell, antibody, and neurotransmitter synthesis

For this reason, it is also vital to fetal brain and nervous system development.4

PreferaOB ONE® has the vitamin B6 found in other prenatal vitamins. And then some.

Most prenatal vitamins contain vitamin B6. However, their concentrations of B6 are typically not high enough to address the morning sickness many expectant moms experience. At 50 mg, PreferaOB ONE® has one of the highest doses of vitamin B6 available in a prenatal vitamin, so mom and baby are provided for.1,2
