Possible migraine reducer - Vitamins?

Migraines and multi-vitamins - Over the last few days, I've seen several news sites reporting on reports that certain nutritional supplements can offset migraine pain, even prevent them. Yes, I know that the FDA isn't going to address the role of vitamins to treat migraines BUT I've been keeping track of the role of supplements and herbs in the treatment of headaches, migraines, fibromyalgia, anxiety and chronic pain...for over 10 years now.

The multi-vitamin treatment for migraines really isn't big news because many migraine sufferers might already be supplementing with magnesium but the new studies are saying that migraine relief might be as close as a bottle of multi-vitamins. I agree to a degree. Ten years ago when I was first diagnosed with fibromyalgia and had already been having migraines since childhood...I discovered a multi-vitamin that provided higher levels of the supplements recommended by homeopathic practitioners then. Vitalert has been a mainstay of my daily life for ten years now, chosen for the antioxidant levels of nutritional and herbal supplements.

Before changing any current treatment, please check with your doctor but if you are looking for a multi-vitamin that does have the anti-oxidant levels of riboflavin and magnesium then consider trying Vitalert (to read what Vitalert contains...put Vitalert in the search box and it comes right up, then scroll down)
