Some compounds of feverfew and magnesium seem to be effective in
prevention of a migraine with some sufferers. Some people benefit from taking
tryptophan in some form, as it has an effect on the serotonin in your body.
Serotonin plays many roles. It can have an effect on the blood vessels. When
serotonin levels are high, blood vessels constrict (shrink). When serotonin levels
fall, the blood vessels dilate (swell). This swelling can cause pain or other
problems.
Many things can affect the level of serotonin in your body, including your level of
blood sugar, certain foods and changes in your estrogen level if you're a woman.
These vitamins and supplements may be effective in treatment of migraine
headaches when taken over a period. One must have patience when taking
them.
If you experience any ill effects, immediately stop taking them.
