Some experts believe that the mineral magnesium is one of the keys to migraine prevention. Alexander Mauskop, director of the New York Headache Center and associate professor of clinical neurology at the State University of New York, has long studied the association between migraines and magnesium. According to Mauskop, "Magnesium is a mineral that you can't live without, because it plays many roles in the human body." One of these roles, he explained, is the regulation of serotonin levels, a brain chemical known to be involved in the onset of migraine headaches. Mauskop, the author of "What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Migraines," explained, "When we tested magnesium levels in headache patients, we were measuring the ionized form of the mineral. This is a much more sensitive indicator of deficiency than the serum magnesium that is commonly tested in doctors' offices and hospitals." Magnesium supplements are generally well tolerated by healthy individuals, with the most common side effect being diarrhea. For people with kidney disease, however, magnesium can be unsafe, and should not be taken without a doctor's supervision. For migraine prevention, Mauskop advises his patients to take 400 milligrams (mg) of magnesium a day. If this doesn't work, he recommends increasing the dose to 600 or 800 mg, as long as the higher doses are tolerated. Magnesium Caps provide the highest concentration of elemental magnesium per capsule. Magnesium may be deficient in 80% of all Americans, which helps explain the epidemic of arterial disease affecting Western society. Magnesium is so inexpensive that every American should consider supplementing at least 500 mg of magnesium a day. Each Magnesium Cap provides 500 elemental milligrams of the following five forms of magnesium: Magnesium (oxide) 475.00 mg Magnesium (chloride) 6.25 mg Magnesium (aspartate) 6.25 mg Magnesium (succinate) 6.25 mg Magnesium (amino acid chelate) 6.25 mg Suggested use of this product is: As a dietary supplement take 1-2 capsules daily, preferably with a meal, or as directed by a health care professional.
