Question: ...Have you heard of MigraHealth?...

Answer:

MigraHealth™ contains:

  • Vitamin B2, 200mg
  • Magnesium, 150mg
  • Feverfew, 50mg

The recommended dosage is one capsule, twice a day.

There is another supplement combination on the market with the same ingredients. It's called Migra-Lieve™ or Migra-Lief™.

Certainly, it's easier to take these three components twice a day, all in one capsule. However, with comparison shopping, you can buy the three separately, and the overall cost can be less.

Also, you should always talk with your doctor before adding anything to your treatment regimen, even "natural" products. Remember, our first drugs were herbs and other natural substances. Your doctor may, as mine does, prefer a different dosage of one of more of the components. For example, my Migraine specialist prefers for me to take 500mg of Magnesium three times a day.

These products have been discussed HERE before.
Good luck,
Teri Robert
 

There are individual studies of each component of Migra-Lieve™, and there seems to be some benefit in a number of headache sufferers. My understanding is that it requires prolonged dosing and is not for acute treatment of migraines.
