Magnesium and Migraines

Studies are showing that magnesium supplements are linked to migraine prevention.  For some migraine sufferers, a daily dose of magnesium can help with attacks.  You can start with eating magnesium-rich foods.  Otherwise, oral supplements or an IV injection of magnesium sulfate can help .

“The headaches and accompanying symptoms can be triggered by a number of factors, including stress, fatigue, food sensitivities and environmental allergies. Although triggers can vary from person to person, a growing body of scientific evidence suggests that many migraine sufferers have one thing in common — relatively low levels of the mineral magnesium.

For these individuals, a daily dose of magnesium can help reduce the frequency, severity and duration of migraine attacks. The results of numerous studies support the daily use of supplemental magnesium for the prevention of migraine headaches.

In one such study, German researchers evaluated the effects of oral magnesium on 81 adult migraine sufferers.

Half the subjects received 600 milligrams magnesium citrate daily for 12 weeks, while the other half received placebo pills.

During the final four weeks of the study, the frequency of migraine attacks was reduced by 41.6 percent in the patients who received supplemental magnesium, compared to a 15.8 percent reduction in the placebo group.”
