Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Anti-na® SIPS — how it works, how fast it dissolves, and answers to the science and safety questions people ask us most.
How Anti-na® SIPS Works
Just as everybody is different, every body is different — but here's what's consistent: each stick pack gives you a full, measured 2,000mg dose of ginger, paired with Bioenergy Ribose® to support energy, dissolved into water rather than swallowed as a pill or chewed. We recommend sipping it slowly rather than chugging it — many people find a gradual sip easier on a sensitive stomach than drinking it all at once.
Many individuals start to feel a difference quickly, while others take a little longer. Your nutrition, activity level, rest, and the severity of your nausea all play a role.
Anti-na® SIPS is formulated to dissolve fast and get to work quickly — many people feel relief begin within 5–15 minutes.* We recommend sipping slowly so it has time to settle your stomach.
Yes — ginger is one of the most well-studied natural options for nausea. Anti-na® SIPS uses a full 2,000mg dose, within the range used across published ginger-and-nausea research.
See how ginger works in the body →Bioenergy Ribose® is a patented form of D-ribose — a naturally occurring sugar your cells use to help regenerate ATP, the molecule your body runs on for energy at the cellular level. It's included in every Anti-na® SIPS stick pack alongside ginger, so you're supporting energy, not just nausea, in one sip.

Whatever feels good to you. Our powder is formulated to dissolve completely in both hot and cold water in just a few seconds — hot water feels like a warm blanket to some, while others prefer it cold and refreshing. Either way works.
You can take Anti-na® SIPS as needed when nausea strikes. We recommend starting with 1 stick pack and not exceeding 2 stick packs (4,000mg ginger) in a 24-hour period without talking to your doctor first — especially if you're pregnant, nursing, taking blood thinners, or managing a medical condition.
Timing matters more than most people realize. Taking ginger about 30 minutes ahead of a known trigger — travel, a workout, or a stressful appointment — tends to work better than trying to catch up to nausea after it's already started.

Anti-na® SIPS is made with natural ginger and Bioenergy Ribose®. As with any supplement, we recommend talking to your doctor or pharmacist before combining it with prescription medications.
Chemo is hard, and we see you. Anti-na® SIPS was formulated with cancer patients and their sensitive palates in mind — it isn't a treatment for chemotherapy-related nausea and hasn't been studied for that specific use, but it's caffeine-free, dissolves completely, and a lot of people going through treatment tell us it's an easy, gentle thing to have on hand. It's not a substitute for anything your care team has prescribed.
Ginger has a long history of traditional use for pregnancy-related queasiness, and many people find a gentle, caffeine-free option appealing during pregnancy.
No naps required — Anti-na® SIPS is caffeine-free and doesn't contain any ingredients known to cause drowsiness. Bioenergy Ribose® is there to support your natural energy alongside the ginger.
Most people tolerate ginger well, but it can cause mild issues like heartburn or an upset stomach for some, especially in larger amounts. It's a well-tolerated, natural ingredient — just not a side-effect-free one for everybody.
Anti-na® SIPS was formulated with cancer patients and their sensitive palates in mind, and it's intended for adults. If your child needs support with nausea or fatigue, their pediatrician is the best partner for figuring out what's right for them.
Anti-na® SIPS is manufactured in an FDA-registered facility. Ask your doctor or healthcare provider if you have any questions about using Anti-na® products, including questions specific to athletic use.

Ginger, Nausea & the Science
Ginger's effects on nausea are genuinely well studied — from how it may help speed up slow stomach emptying, to how its compounds calm inflammation in the body. We've put the full, cited breakdown on our Science page and in our gastric emptying deep-dive.
Visit our Science page →Ginger has the most research behind it overall, but peppermint, lemon, fennel, cinnamon, and cumin all have real studies supporting them for specific situations. It's worth trying what fits your symptoms and lifestyle — and checking with a doctor if nausea is severe or persistent.

No. Per the National Cancer Institute, cancer fatigue "is not completely relieved by sleep or rest and may happen after no or minimal activity" — unlike everyday tiredness, which usually improves with rest.
