Migraine Comment of the Day: RIBOFLAVIN (VITAMIN B2)

"I have been taking riboflavin for two months… and intend carrying on taking it for the time being... I have been having chronic pain since January, but the last month or so I am at last feeling so much better...I would suggest riboflavin is worth a try and give it three months.”

Let’s review what is Riboflavin and what it does. 

Riboflavin is one of the many B vitamins that our body needs to carry its metabolic functions. Riboflavin, or Vitamin B2, works intimately with the production and usage of ATP (energy) inside and outside of the mitochondria. It protects against lipid peroxidation (oxidative stress) and high homocysteine levels (heart disease factor). 

Foods high in riboflavin: 
1. Eggs
2. Meat (salmon, organ meats, beef, chicken)
3. Almonds

It protects the nervous system by providing antioxidant protection and removal of toxin accumulation in the brain. Riboflavin in high doses has been proven to reduce the number of migraine attacks. And the only side effect to worry about is to have a very bright yellow urine, as if you swallowed a highlighter. 

If you think riboflavin could be added to your migraine toolkit, please feel free to reach out to me and learn about its different forms. 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.
