Which Vitamin Deficiency Causes Migraine?

Migraine is a recurring neurological condition, due to which there is severe pain in the head. According to research, more than 20 percent women and more than 10 percent men suffer from migraine pain at some time in their lives. Many medicines are available for this, but they also have different disadvantages. Research shows that deficiency of vitamin B2 and vitamin D increases the risk of migraine.

Vitamin B2

Vitamin B2 is also known as riboflavin, which takes part in the metabolic process of a person. It is an essential nutrient to help mitochondria to produce energy in cells. Migraine is believed to be associated with oxidative stress and inflammation in the brain. Oxidative stress is considered to be an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants, which can cause inflammation in the body. In such a situation, consumption of vitamin B2 can protect adults as well as children from migraine.

According to research, vitamin B2 not only reduces the pain of migraine attack, but also has the ability to reduce its intensity. The best thing is that it has no side effects. According to the National Institute of Health, women are advised to take 1.1 milligrams of vitamin B2 daily and men are advised to take 1.3 milligrams of vitamin B2 daily.
