It’s hard to believe, but a billion people suffer from migraine headaches. It’s also hard to believe that a safe, simple, inexpensive vitamin can help. Both are true.
Could something as simple as vitamin D change life for millions of people with migraines? That’s what this meta-analysis of 5 studies that compared vitamin D to a placebo set out to see.
The answer is yes! Vitamin D significantly reduced the number of days with headaches, the frequency of headaches and the severity of headaches. It also significantly improved scores on the Migraine Disability Assessment.
The researchers concluded that “Vitamin D treatment is effective to alleviate migraine.”
