Morning Wellness Orange
ACTIVE INGREDIENTS
Vitamin B6 - The powerhouse
Found naturally in many foods, and an essential nutrient used in over 140 metabolic processes in the human body. We’ve looked at the evidence [1,2,3,4] and Vitamin B6 – at our dose – is a game changer for morning sickness.

Electrolytes
Electrolytes are a bit of a buzz word, but simply, they are certain salts that your body requires – in conjunction with water – for normal functioning. There are a couple of ways to lose the balance of water and salts in the context of morning sickness
- If you vomit, you lose salts and water. The more you vomit, the worse this becomes.
- If you feel too nauseated to eat or drink, you tend to not get enough water or salts in, and your bodily functioning suffers
The end result is another buzz word – ‘dehydration.’ We’ve deliberately included electrolytes/salts to give you a boost to get you back to enjoying what you love.
Glucose
Famously known as sugar, glucose is a plant-derived carbohydrate that provides the body with energy. Glucose plays a role in the absorption of fluids and the balance of hydration within the body and therefore is an important ingredient for those suffering morning sickness. We’ve deliberately kept the glucose level low to avoid icky sweetness, but have enough to provide some energy and maintain a favourable electrolyte balance.
How low is low glucose? Each 200mL of Morning Wellness or Morning Wellness PLUS has the same amount of glucose as just one tablespoon (20mL) of soft drink. Put another way, you’d have to have 18 doses of Morning Wellness or Morning Wellness PLUS to equal the amount of glucose in just one 375mL can of soft drink.
Sodium Citrate
Sodium citrate provides you Na+ electrolytes and is naturally alkaline, which helps balance acidity. This helps smooth out the flavour whilst providing important sodium electrolytes.
Potassium Chloride
Known as potassium salt, and on the ‘World Health Organisation (WHO) List of Essential Medicines’, potassium chloride provides you with important electrolytes to get back to yourself sooner.
Citric Acid
The jack-of-all-trades; citric acid come from citrus fruits and helps give your Morning Wellness and Morning Wellness PLUS their signature flavour. Citric acid also provides a contribution towards rapid absorption of your Morning Wellness and Morning Wellness PLUS.
Flavours
We all like things that taste good. The tricky part is that pregnancy sends our taste buds wild and our tummies even wilder. We have found that a more mild and subtle flavour is better tolerated on your morning sick tummy. All of our flavours are natural – they come from actual fruit!
Monk fruit
Monk fruit extract is a naturally occurring sweetener that tastes 250 times sweeter than sugar. We’ve used it to help your taste buds sing, without upsetting the careful electrolyte balance.
The other stuff
In an ideal world, the above ingredients would all mix together beautifully in a smooth flowing, easy to dissolve powder just right for a sachet. This isn’t the case and we’ve had to include a tiny amount of a few extra things to get the powder just right. These are:
- Silica – found naturally as a mineral
- Glycine – a building block for proteins (an amino acid) that is also made by the human body
1 – 3 sachets per day.
Maximum 3 sachets per day.
Daily use can help improve effectiveness.
- Stir 1 sachet in 200mL glass of water or soda water
- Sip small amounts frequently
- Consume within 4 hours
EXEMPT from classification
Vitamin B6 is exempt from pregnancy classification as it is an essential vitamin and required for normal human functioning.
Ginger is considered a food, which is also exempt from categorisation.
Please talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns, and please refer them to this ingredients information section, or bring along a box of Morning Wellness or Morning Wellness PLUS to discuss with them.

Stop taking this medication if you experience tingling, burning or numbness and see your healthcare practitioner as soon as possible. Contains vitamin B6.
Taking too much Vitamin B6 can cause peripheral nerves to become temporarily affected. This is most commonly reported with long term daily doses of Vitamin B6 of 1000mg+ – this is equivalent to 40 or more sachets of Morning Wellness or Morning Wellness PLUS each day for more than two months. Even in that circumstance, symptoms should resolve with cessation of the Vitamin B6.
Contains potassium (175 mg per sachet). If you have kidney disease or are taking heart or blood pressure medicines consult your doctor or pharmacist before use. Keep out of reach of children.
Contains sodium (275.55mg per sachet). The recommended daily dose of this medicine contains 826.65mg of sodium. This is roughly equivalent to a pinch of table salt per dose of Morning Wellness or Morning Wellness PLUS.
Contains sugars.
Use only as directed.
If symptoms persist or worsen talk to your medical practitioner. Advise your doctor of any medicine you take during pregnancy, particularly in your first trimester.
