"Yes, I take magnesium glycinate as one of my supplements as I don't tolerate prescription meds. It is (supposed to be) one of the most absorbable forms. According to my neurologist, migraine sufferers are typically low on magnesium."

We must review what Magnesium is and what it does. 

Magnesium is a mineral that provides over 300 metabolic processes. It is involved in protein synthesis, muscle and nerve function. It preserves the function of the mitochondria and its ability to make ATP (energy). This is why it is helpful for relaxation, muscle cramps and even for sleep difficulties. For migraines and other neurological conditions, it is protective of the mitochondria, leading to better neuronal connections. 

Foods high in Magnesium: 
1. Cashews
2. Buckwheat 
3. Pumpkin Seeds

Magnesium form varies and has not been highly studied. Magnesium Oxide is the only one recommended by migraine experts to be used orally. Intravenously, magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) is used and can reduce aura symptoms, but not pain or nausea. 

If you think magnesium could be added to your migraine toolkit, please feel free to reach out to learn which form of magnesium could help you best. And keep in mind that this additional supplement plus lifestyle modifications such as diet, exercise and stress are going to be the major shifts to your condition.
