The preparation
Magnesium is a mineral found in, among other things, our bones and muscles.
A few small studies have been conducted on magnesium, some in combination with riboflavin. These studies suggest that it may have an effect in the form of milder and possibly shorter migraine attacks.
Natural sources of magnesium include whole grain products, milk, and vegetables.
Effect
Magnesium is involved in many processes in our body.
The mechanism of action for migraines is unknown.
Side effects
Magnesium has very few side effects at the recommended dose, but diarrhea may occur.
Precautions
Magnesium lowers the amount of doxycycline and tetracycline in the blood, so it is recommended that these preparations be taken 3 hours apart.
What dosage should you take
You should take 360 mg of magnesium, possibly in combination with riboflavin.
Magnesium can be purchased in health food stores.
