The study showed as the “sunshine” vitamin can reduce the number of migraine attacks. Moreover, the result achieved in this case, replicates the effect of expensive and powerful drugs.
Daily supplementation with vitaminD may significantly reduce the number of attacks of migraine, as shown by a new study. This vitamin is often called “solar” because it is produced by our skin when exposed to sunlight. After regular nutritional supplementation for patients the number of attacks of migraine during 6 months was reduced by half. However, they did not take anything extra every day, in addition to those vitamins. As a result, most of the heart attacks 6 days a week was reduced to only three.
Scientists believe that “solar” vitamin partially opposes inflammation in the small blood vessels of the brain, and it ensures effect. Some studies show that the vitamin holds the shell called the endothelium more flexible and soft, so stabiliziruemost the bloodstream. Note that from migraines in Russia suffers 10% of the population. Most often, seizures are struggling with over-the-counter painkillers like paracetamol and Nurofen. But in more severe cases, patients prescribed triptan that restore the chemical balance in the brain, punctuated by migraines.
Triptan fight with pain after the development of headaches, and for many years it was the only option for most patients. However, this year Britain licensed the drug Arenula, which in clinical trials has reduced the number of days with migraine from 8 per month to only 4. However, the cost of this drug is very large, and patients required monthly injections. In this regard, vitamin D can be a very valuable alternative. (READ MORE)
