Chelated Magnesium Glycinate 270 mg tablet
Magnesium is an important ion that, at low levels, has been linked to migraine. Some researchers think that individuals with frequent migraines, particularly those who have migraine with aura, have low levels of magnesium in brain tissue. Magnesium is considered to have natural anti-inflammatory effects. It is difficult to eat enough dark green vegetables, nuts and seeds every day to adequately raise magnesium levels.
Magnesium comes in several different forms including magnesium hydroxide, magnesium citrate and chelated magnesium. Chelated magnesium is a soluble form of magnesium and is better absorbed in the gut; thus, this type of magnesium may cause less side effects (diarrhea or abdominal cramping).
Since magnesium may reduce migraine severity and frequency in children, the dose suggested is 9mg/kg/day of a soluble form of magnesium for at least three months.
