How are you? Magnesium is an important element which is the second most abundant intracellular cation. it has been identified as a cofactor in enzymatic reactions involving energy metabolism and protein and nucleic acid synthesis. Magnesium can help prevent and treat migraine and cluster headaches Magnesium is far safer, cheaper, and often more effective than many expensive drugs with side-effect prescribe to migraine sufferers. Diarrhea is one side effect of magnesium intake. It would be best to discuss which additional supplements with your doctor since a complete medical history is needed for this. Take care and keep us posted.

Hi,

Magnesium has been found to play a very useful role in migraine headaches. Are you experiencing any adverse effects?
Other supplements that can be used in migraine are flax seed, vitamin B2, and Lysine. Please consult your doctor before staring any of these. Take care!
