If you take magnesium to ward off headaches - stay safe by avoiding doses greater than 500 mg. Magnesium (non-prescription) has been utilized in the treatment of vascular headaches and migraine headaches. It is most commonly recommended as a supplement in the preventative treatment of migraine and sometimes used for cluster headache.
Although the use of magnesium as a supplement has not been substantiated by many scientific studies, nor has it been recommended by the FDA as a treatment for headaches - magnesium is one supplement both physicians and headache sufferers that is considered very helpful.
It's important that you tell your doctor all of the supplements you take including the dosage. The average recommended dose is 200-500 mg/day. In high or excessive doses, magnesium can cause significant and sometimes serious toxic reactions. Work with your doctor - some clinicians recommend the use of magnesium to curtail the full onset of a migraine with some success. Just keep the maximum dose in mind to avoid further complications.
