Ginger is the secret superhero for expecting moms! Who would have thought? But what makes ginger such a great ally during pregnancy? Well, it turns out that ginger stimulates the gastrointestinal tract and keeps things flowing smoothly.
And that’s not all – ginger comes with additional perks: vitamins B3 and B6, manganese, magnesium, potassium, and copper! Pretty amazing, right? Not only does it alleviate nausea, but it also brings many health benefits.
You might be wondering how much ginger you can invite to your prenatal party. Don’t worry, we’ve consulted the experts! The safe and recommended dosage is up to 20 grams of ginger per day (that’s about 4 teaspoons). No need to go overboard, as excess of anything can have unwanted effects.

- 1 to 1 ½ teaspoon of grated (peeled) ginger Or ½ to 1⁄3 teaspoon of ginger powder (if you prefer the quick version)
