Nutrients and Migraine Relief

A study from the University of Medical Sciences highlights the positive effects of L-carnitine and alpha-linolenic acid on migraines in women. The randomized trial showed that the combination of 500 mg of L-carnitine and 1,000 mg of ALA significantly reduced migraine frequency, severity, and duration over 12 weeks when compared to a placebo group. Participants also reported improvements in mental health, with decreases in depression and anxiety scores. This research emphasizes the potential for specific nutrients to enhance the quality of life for the millions of women affected by migraines.
