• Vitamin supplementation lowered homocysteine and reduced migraine disability. 

 
Migraine may, in part, arise because of disruption in brain blood vessel health caused by elevated homocysteine. Homocysteine is a known blood vessel irritant.

This study was a randomized, double-blind placebo, controlled trial of 6 months of daily vitamin supplementation. Fifty-two participants received folic acid 2mg, vitamin B6, 25mg and vitamin B12 400mcg.

The vitamin supplementation reduced:
• Homocysteine by 39%
• The prevalence of migraine disability from 60% to 30% after 6 months
• Headache frequency and pain severity

Placebo provided no reduction in homocysteine, migraine disability, headache frequency and pain severity.

This study provides some early evidence that lowering homocysteine through vitamin supplementation reduces migraine disability in some people.

High homocysteine increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, osteoporosis and some cancers. A high dose B-vitamin combination, such as Methyl Protect™, and Juice Plus+ is my first step in my successful Natural Migraine Program. Both have been shown to lower homocysteine levels.
