THE TIMING
Your stomach
It turns without asking first.
WHEN YOUR STOMACH TURNS, WATER OR PILLS ARE NOT THE ANSWER.
STEADY
PHARMACIST FORMULATED FOR TRAVEL AND MOTION · 30 STRIPS · COOL MINT FLAVORING
Take it after your stomach has already turned.
The cooling lands the second it melts, and the ginger follows over about twenty minutes.
This one gets used on travel days rather than daily, so a pack lasts most people several months. Two packs means one lives in the glovebox and one lives in the bag you actually travel with.
BEFORE WE SHOW YOU THE PRICE
What matters most to you?
Choose your priority to see your Meltiva options.
Every product for an unsettled stomach asks you to do the one thing an unsettled stomach cannot face, which is swallow something with a glass of water you do not have. So the tablets stay in the bag, and the drive gets worse.
STEADY puts ginger, L-theanine, vitamin B6 and lemon peel on a strip that dissolves the moment it touches your tongue. Back seat, boat deck, aisle seat. Nobody has to pull over, and you can still read the map when you get there.

THE PART NOBODY PLANS FOR
It's not the ginger.
THE ASK
Your options
Water, a capsule, and keeping it down.
STEADY is placed where nothing has to be swallowed. On your tongue.
Ginger has done this job for a very long time. What fails is everything wrapped around it. In a middle seat, a back seat, or the first twenty minutes of a morning, the bottle in your bag may as well be at home.
Same moment. Nothing to keep down.
Test it the first time you need it.
This is not a daily habit you have to build. It is a pack you keep within reach.
STEP 1
Notice it starting.
The moment before it becomes the whole afternoon.
STEP 2
Strip on your tongue. No water.
SECONDS
That is the entire process.
STEP 3
Notice what you did not have to do.
No bottle, no glass, nothing to swallow while your stomach is already unhappy.
WHAT THE GINGER IS DOING
CO2 extracted ginger root, standardized to gingerols and shogaols, in a form you can take without water.
BUILT FOR REAL LIFE
No water. No bottle. No conversation.
01 INDIVIDUALLY SEALED
Individually wrapped
Every strip is sealed in its own pouch. Two in a jacket, two in a bag, two in the drawer at work. No bottle rattling around, no lid, no spills.

03 DISCREET BY DESIGN
Discreet enough to actually use
Nothing to unpack and nothing to swallow, so you can take one at a dinner table without turning it into a conversation.

The evidence
Here is the human research behind what STEADY is built to do.
The oldest answer to nausea, tested properly
01 / 04A pooled analysis of randomized trials found ginger significantly reduced nausea compared with placebo, with a safety record clean enough that it is recommended during pregnancy.
In STEADY
Gingerols and shogaols act on serotonin receptors in the gut wall, the same target prescription anti nausea drugs use. CO2 extraction pulls both compounds out without heat or solvents.
Calm that does not make you drowsy
02 / 04In a four week randomized trial, adults taking L theanine scored lower on stress related symptoms and performed better on attention tasks than the placebo group.
In STEADY
Theanine raises alpha wave activity, the brain pattern of being awake but unhurried. Nausea and anxiety feed each other, so settling one takes pressure off the other.
First thing doctors reach for
03 / 04In a randomized placebo controlled trial, vitamin B6 cut nausea severity within three days. It is still the first line recommendation in obstetric guidelines today.
In STEADY
Honestly, the mechanism is still not fully mapped, which is unusual for something this well established. The trial results have held up across decades, so guidelines recommend it regardless.
A scent your stomach responds to
04 / 04In a randomized controlled trial, people who inhaled lemon aroma reported significantly less nausea and vomiting than those given a placebo scent.
In STEADY
Limonene reaches the brain through the olfactory nerve, a route that skips digestion entirely. That is why aroma still works when your stomach will not cooperate.
The moment you need it is the moment you can't swallow anything.
Every other option asks for the one thing an unsettled stomach will not agree to. Chew something sweet. Get a capsule down with a full glass of water. Drink twelve ounces of anything at all. Steady asks for none of it. It melts on your tongue in about thirty seconds, so the ginger, the lemon and the cooling are already working while the alternatives are still waiting on something you do not have.

Four places it has to work
Queasiness picks the moment. You do not.
| STEADY STRIP | Ginger chew | Ginger capsule | Ginger ale | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Back seat, forty minutes from anywhere | Yes | Sticky, and you are still chewing | No water in the car | Not in your bag |
| Seat 24B, before the cart comes | Yes | Yes | Nothing to drink yet | Nothing to drink yet |
| Standing on a boat | Yes | Both hands busy | No | No |
| Middle of a meeting | Yes, nobody notices | You are eating candy | You are hunting for water | You are opening a can |
It works in all four because it does not need anything from the room you are in.
