Read our storyAs someone who witnessed loved ones struggle with the dual challenges of nausea and fatigue, I created Anti-na because I believe wellness shouldn't come with side effects.
Our small team is dedicated to your comfort and vitality—without the corporate jargon or false promises.
It's Tuesday afternoon. Your daughter just texted asking if you can still come to her concert on Saturday. You want to say yes—God, you want to say yes—but you've been awake for six hours and you're already back in bed, bone-tired in a way sleep won't fix.
Cancer interrupted your life. Chemotherapy is saving it. But right now, you're watching your days happen without you.
If this feels familiar, you're not alone. Up to 96% of people receiving chemotherapy experience profound fatigue—and it's not the kind of tired that a nap fixes. This is cellular exhaustion, where your body's power plants can't make enough energy to fuel even simple tasks.
But here's what most oncologists won't tell you: You don't have to white-knuckle through this.
There are proven, science-backed strategies—including targeted nutritional support—that can help you reclaim pieces of your energy and your life during treatment. Not every moment. Not every day. But enough to matter.
Enough to show up for Saturday's concert.
Chemotherapy fatigue isn't like normal tiredness. Here's what's actually happening inside your body:
You're fighting on multiple fronts:
The result? Your mitochondria—the tiny power plants inside every cell—can't produce enough ATP (cellular energy). You're running on empty at a molecular level.
This isn't weakness. This isn't giving up. This is your body directing every ounce of available energy toward survival while treatment does its work.
But that doesn't mean you can't be strategic about the energy you DO have.
What this gives you back: The ability to be present for your daughter's concert, even if you can only stay for her solo.
Complete bed rest seems logical when you're exhausted, but it often makes things worse. Your muscles decondition, circulation slows, and fatigue deepens.
Instead, be strategic about where your energy goes:
This isn't about doing everything. It's about doing what matters.
What this gives you back: Clear thinking and physical stamina to get through basic tasks.
Dehydration compounds fatigue exponentially, but forcing down plain water when you're nauseous is torture.
Smart hydration strategy:
💡 This is where Anti-Na SIPS changes the game. Most hydration solutions either help with nausea OR energy—never both. SIPS addresses the vicious cycle: you're nauseous so you can't drink → you get dehydrated → fatigue gets worse → nausea intensifies. By calming your stomach while hydrating and supporting energy production, SIPS breaks that cycle.
What this gives you back: Enough physical strength to not feel dizzy standing up.
When you're nauseous, eating feels impossible. But skipping meals depletes energy further, creating a spiral you can't escape.
What helps:
If even thinking about food makes you queasy, that's where addressing nausea first becomes critical.
What this gives you back: Waking up feeling human instead of feeling like you never slept.
Your sleep is probably disrupted—by medication schedules, night sweats, anxiety, pain. You can't force perfect sleep, but you can improve what you get.
Try this:
What this gives you back: The ability to walk from the car to the concert hall without needing to sit down halfway.
Studies show cancer patients who do light exercise during treatment experience significantly less fatigue than those who rest completely.
Start micro-small:
The goal isn't fitness. It's circulation—delivering oxygen and nutrients to exhausted cells.
What this gives you back: Enough energy to cook dinner, or at least be in the kitchen while someone else cooks.
Here's where the science gets interesting. Certain compounds directly support your body's ability to produce energy at the most fundamental level.
Bioenergy Ribose is a naturally occurring molecule your body uses to make ATP—your energy currency. Research shows ribose supplementation helps restore energy levels, especially after stress or illness.
This is why Anti-Na SIPS includes Bioenergy Ribose® alongside therapeutic ginger.
What this gives you back: The ability to stay at the dinner table long enough to hear about your son's day.
Here's the cycle that's stealing your days: Chemo causes nausea → You can't eat → Blood sugar drops → Fatigue intensifies → You're too exhausted to address the nausea → Repeat
Breaking this cycle is everything. And this is where having a solution that addresses BOTH becomes essential.
Most ginger products help with nausea. Most energy supplements help with fatigue. SIPS does both—because we understand you're fighting both at once.
Here's what makes SIPS different:
✅ 2 grams of standardized D-SOLV® ginger extract (3% gingerols) - Clinical dose proven to reduce chemotherapy-induced nausea
✅ Bioenergy Ribose® - Supports cellular energy production at the mitochondrial level
✅ Gentle on sensitive stomachs - Lemon-honey flavor designed for people who can't tolerate sweetness
✅ Hydration support - Gets fluids into you when everything else sounds terrible
✅ Portable & discreet - Mix with water anywhere—treatment center, work, car
Unlike ginger ale (which contains zero real ginger and loads of sugar) or generic energy drinks (which can worsen nausea), SIPS was specifically designed for cancer patients dealing with the dual burden of nausea and fatigue.
What SIPS feels like: That first sip when your stomach finally settles. The gentle lemon-honey taste that doesn't trigger your gag reflex. The relief of actually being able to drink a full glass of water without feeling sick. And then, over the next few days, noticing you're not quite as wiped out by 2 PM. Small wins that add up to being present.
Morning: Mix a packet 30 minutes before breakfast to combat morning nausea and build your energy foundation
Pre-treatment: Take SIPS 30-60 minutes before your chemo session to prevent nausea before it starts
The afternoon wall: When 2 PM hits and you need to push through until dinner
Recovery days: When you're home trying to rebuild enough strength to be present
"Within three days of using SIPS, I had enough energy to make it to my son's baseball game. I stayed for the whole thing—first time in two months. The nausea settled within 20 minutes of my first sip, but the real gift was getting my life back in small pieces."
— Sarah M., breast cancer survivor
Let's be honest—nothing makes chemotherapy easy. SIPS isn't a miracle cure, and these strategies won't eliminate fatigue completely.
But here's what they CAN do:
Some days, "Life, Uninterrupted" means making it to the couch instead of staying in bed. That's still living. That counts.
You're not being weak. You're not giving up. You're being strategic about energy so you can keep showing up for the people and moments that matter.
You've read the strategies. You understand the science. You know what's stealing your days.
Now it's time to take your life back—one moment at a time.
Try Anti-Na SIPS risk-free. If it doesn't help you reclaim enough energy to show up for what matters within the first week, we'll refund you—no questions asked.
Because you deserve to be at that concert. You deserve to hear about your son's day. You deserve to feel like yourself again, even if it's just for a few hours at a time.
P.S. — We know you're skeptical. We would be too. That's why we offer a full refund if this doesn't help. Because we're that confident it will.
Life, Uninterrupted. Not perfect. But present.
Q: Can I take SIPS alongside my chemo medications? A: SIPS uses natural ingredients (ginger and ribose) that are generally safe, but always check with your oncology team before adding any supplement to your regimen. We designed it with safety in mind, but your medical team knows your specific situation best.
Q: How quickly does SIPS work? A: Most people notice nausea relief within 15-30 minutes. Energy support builds more gradually with consistent use—think days, not hours. But many customers report feeling noticeably better within the first week.
Q: What if I can't keep anything down? A: Start with small sips. SIPS is designed to be gentle on sensitive stomachs, but listen to your body. If you're vomiting everything, that's when to call your oncology team—you may need stronger anti-nausea medication alongside supportive strategies.
Q: I don't want to just survive treatment, I want to LIVE. Can this help? A: That's exactly why we created it. SIPS doesn't just manage symptoms—it helps you reclaim enough energy to be PRESENT. Not for everything. Not every day. But for what matters most. That concert. That dinner. That morning coffee that finally tastes good again.
Summer 2018, halfway up Mt. Whitney, altitude sickness stopped me cold—crushing nausea, nothing worked. That moment connected with something deeper: watching a family friend Toni go to chemo Tuesday and force herself to work Wednesday—standing on her feet cutting hair while pale and shaking—because as a self-employed hairstylist, missing work meant no rent money. The medications her oncologist prescribed cost hundreds and caused migraines so severe she chose nausea instead. When I learned cancer survivors experience nausea for up to ten years post-treatment, I knew this wasn't a short-term problem. This was a quality-of-life crisis.
When I delivered the pilot batch to Toni, she texted: "I made it through my entire work day on my feet without leaving early. First time in three months." That became five years of R&D—finding pharmaceutical-grade manufacturers, sourcing clinical-dose ingredients, reformulating into SIPS. Today, Anti-Na honors that promise: no one should choose between their health and living fully. Not Toni working the day after chemo. Not you standing in that hospital pharmacy wondering which "ginger" actually contains real ginger.
Life, Uninterrupted means having the right tools to keep showing up when it matters most.
