- 01Ginger ExtractModerate85% match
Ginger gingerols and shogaols act on gastric motility and 5-HT3 serotonin receptors, which may reduce nausea and the gut symptoms of motion sickness.
SuggestedStandardized ginger root extract, 500 to 1000 mg taken 30 to 60 minutes before travel - 02Vitamin B6Limited64% match
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) has antinausea effects best documented in pregnancy and may offer modest relief for general motion-related nausea, though motion-specific evidence is limited.
SuggestedPyridoxine, 10 to 25 mg before travel - 03L-TheanineLimited58% match
L-theanine may ease anticipatory anxiety that can worsen perceived motion sickness, but it does not address the vestibular trigger directly.
SuggestedL-theanine capsules, 100 to 200 mg before travel - 04Magnesium GlycinateLimited55% match
