In this third article featuring some of the most promisign and effective nutritional supplements for headaches, magnesium is being featured. There is help for those of you with headaches, and it does not have to be only temporary.
Magnesium Magnesium is a mineral that is used for many purposes. The hsbaltimore, Health Series Institue e-Alert (September 14, 2004) website informs us a good intake of magnesium may promote bone flexibility, help prevent type 2 diabetes and heart disease.Recent studies show that magnesium is also essential for keeping your teeth healthy.
There have also been studies on a relationship between magnesium and headaches. A study by A. Trauninger (Oral magnesium load test in patients with migraine, Headache, 2002, 42(2): 0, 114-9) showed magnesium deficiencies to be common in those who suffer from migraines. Another study by A. Bianchi (Vitamin Horm, 2004, 69: p. 297-312) has found sufficient, though not definitive, evidence of magnesium's ability to help treat migraines. Current recommendations are to take 500-1000 mg of magnesium per day.
The Bottom Line The three natural remedies for migraine headache discussed here all have shown promising results as affective natural headache remedies. When looking at alternative treatments for migraines, these three appear to be at the top of charts. But the two biggest advantages alternative treatments have over prescription medications is their lack of side effects, and the fact that you are not going to go broke trying these supplements for migraines. These points plus the positive test results shown should be reason to include nutritional supplementation to help treat migraines.

It's actually better to take a whole vitamin B complex than a single vitamin. They do work together and taking more of one will create an artificial deficiency of one or more others in B complex, depending on the starting point.
Also, check on calcium supplements - I noticed they are not in the migraine section of the store but, shifting too much towards magnesium will create some interesting side effects. It's more about calcium-magnesium balance than magnesium alone.
Thank you for the comments, BTW :P .
