Supplemental Therapies have been shown to be helpful in the case of both migraine treatment and prevention. Individuals who are chronic migraine sufferers are always looking for a new and improved migraine treatment or at least an alternative preventative treatment. A few of the most commonly used supplements for migraine treatment in the Migraine Support Formula are below.
Magnesium Citrate
Migraine sufferers usually have lower levels of magnesium when compared to those who do not have migraines. Studies have shown that the supplemental dosages of magnesium can help with the painful symptoms of migraines, especially those that might be triggered by the hormonal changes that happen with the onset of a monthly cycle in women.
Riboflavin
Vitamin B2 is an excellent preventative migraine treatment because studies have shown that it can decrease both the frequency and severity of a migraine for some patients. Another benefit of vitamin B2 is that it’s safe to take while pregnant, and it does not cause toxicity. Vitamin B2 (or Riboflavin) can be found in certain foods such as green leafy vegetables, liver, legumes, eggs, milk, cheese, almonds, wheat germ, dairy products, as well as fortified breads and cereals. It can also be taken in in supplemental form such as a capsule or tablet. If taken in supplemental form it is best to take vitamin B2 with food as it is more easily absorbed that way.
Coenzyme Q10
Coenzyme Q10 is found inside the body’s cells and is crucial to proper function within the cell, it has been shown to have beneficial effects for individuals that seek migraine treatment. Coenzyme Q10 is found in dietary sources such as meat and fish, Vegetable oils, and parsley. Coenzyme Q10 has also proven especially favorable when used in combination with Magnesium and Vitamin B2, and like other supplements besides being found naturally in foods can be taken by capsule or tablet form.
5-Hydroxytryptophan
This particular supplement is an amino acid that is made by the body from tryptophan; it is then converted into serotonin which is an important brain chemical. Serotonin can reduce the intensity and frequency of migraine attacks by lessening the constriction and dilation of blood vessels in the brain which can often lead to migraines.
