Magnesium and Migraine

Magnesium and Migraine

In a placebo controlled, double blind randomized study, attack frequency was reduced by 41.6% in the group taking 600 mg magnesium daily over 12 weeks and by only 15% in the placebo group. Drug consumption for symptomatic relief and the number of days with migraine were also significantly reduced by the supplementation of this mineral.

 All magnesiums are not created equal.

 Note: The best forms of supplemental magnesium to ensure effective absorption is magnesium aspartate, orotate, diglycinate, or citrate. Beware of magnesium carbonate, oxide (very dependent on hydrochloric acid) or sulfate (laxative effect).
