Common nutritional deficiencies implicated in migraine:

  • Magnesium: To be taken as magnesium - 500 mg daily.
  • Vitamin B2: 400 mg daily - this is much higher than the recommended daily allowance
    and you will not obtain the required amount from a B-complex product.
  • Co-enzyme Q10: for details of an open study investigating the effects on patients with
    migraine, click here. Alternatively, please click here to download further information.
  • Ginger: can be helpful in treating nausea associated with migraine and there is some
    evidence of efficacy in preventing attacks. Place slices of fresh ginger in boiling water
  • Instead of an aspirin, or migraine drugs that constrict the blood vessels try taking
    100-200mg Vitamin B3 in the Niacin form, which is a vasodilator. Start with the
    smaller dose. It will cause a “blushing” sensation as well as feeling of increased heat
    and can often stop or reduce a headache in the early stages. Due to the flush to
    the skin, which can last 20 minutes, it is best done in a home environment.
