Supplements for Migraine
6 supplements with research evidence for Migraine
What the Research Shows
Research shows that riboflavin has strong evidence for its use as an effective way to reduce migraine frequency and symptoms in both adults and children. Other supplements, such as CoQ10, have moderate evidence suggesting they may reduce the frequency and severity of attacks. Additionally, nano-curcumin has shown promise for prevention when used with CoQ10, and feverfew has moderate evidence for preventing attacks, particularly when studied alongside magnesium, riboflavin, or acupuncture. On the other hand, there is insufficient evidence regarding the effectiveness of magnesium oxide, as studies involving its use with sodium valproate are not yet definitive. Similarly, there is insufficient evidence for 5-HTP, as current research reviews focus more on general prevention strategies and triptans rather than this specific supplement.
