Vitamin B6 Tablets, 10mg
7.3/10 overallAround £3 for 90 tablets
Standalone vitamin B6 tablets, one of the two supplements NHS guidance suggests trying for pregnancy nausea alongside dietary changes.
The NHS specifically names vitamin B6 as a supplement worth discussing with a GP or midwife for morning sickness that dietary changes alone don't ease — this is a plain, single-ingredient version of that, without the flavourings or acupressure mechanism of Sea-Band's or Preggie Pop's products already in this category. It's the option to reach for if you specifically want B6 dosing you can track and discuss with a healthcare professional, rather than a blended remedy.
Worth being clear-eyed about: this isn't a replacement for medical advice, and the NHS advises checking with a GP or pharmacist before starting any supplement for morning sickness, particularly if symptoms are severe (which can indicate hyperemesis gravidarum, needing different treatment). Compared with the acupressure and ginger-based options in this category, B6 tablets are the most "clinical" choice — cheap, unflavoured, and best used on professional advice about dosage.
