In talking to a client today who's son is suffering from debilitating migraines at 13...she said neurologist stated hormonal boys require 400mg of magnesium a day. Oxide vitamins to cross the brain barrier.
She was disappointed the GP never mentioned new to me too.
Takes a couple months to build up if low. Poor 12 is going to get some preventative now.
Anyone else heard of this for migraines or growing kids?
Some migraines respond to magnesium. Most won't, but it's cheap and easy enough to be worth a try. The pills are sold over the counter. It's poorly absorbable, even in pill form, so you can only take so much before it has a laxative effect.
