Riboflavin Migraines |
Riboflavin was originally considered for migraine headache treatment because researchers observed that migraine sufferers tend to have impaired energy production in brain cells, which riboflavin has the potential to enhance being a component of a key substance involved in energy production. Riboflavin does not appear to cause any significant adverse effects even when high doses are administered, but it is possible that taking large amounts of it might cause subtle imbalances in body chemistry. For that reason, lower doses are preferable. Riboflavin, also known as vitamin B2, performs a variety of functions, from aiding in the manufacture of red blood cells to assisting in the extraction of energy from carbohydrates, protein, and fat. And now, it has presented itself as a possible headache reliever. Related Articles |
