Sweet Relief from Morning Sickness: It’s called morning sickness, but it can strike at any time—or place. In fact, about 80% of women experience nausea that lasts all day. [1] The nausea and vomiting of morning sickness affects 70-85% of all pregnant women. [2] Due to safety concerns, however, many women do not seek relief. B-natal is a non-prescription vitamin supplement for morning sickness, and contains the recommended amount of vitamin B 6 found to relieve morning sickness.* [3,4]

The leading academy of obstetricians and gynecologists issued guidance for morning sickness, stating that vitamin B 6 “should be considered a first line treatment.”* [2] B-natal™ gives you just the right amount of B 6 to help soothe the symptoms of morning sickness, and you can be confident that B-natal is the right choice for both you and your baby. B-natal provides sweet relief without any pills to swallow or liquid to drink.

• Contains the recommended amount of vitamin B 6 found to relieve morning sickness*
• Available as a cherry-flavored TheraPop or green apple-flavored lozenge
