Mitochondria Nutrients Linked to Lower Migraine Risk

Research Summary

Researchers discovered that higher dietary intake of certain mitochondria-related nutrients is associated with a reduced risk of developing migraines. In a study involving 202,656 participants from the UK Biobank, investigators examined the impact of nutrients like magnesium, riboflavin, thiamine, niacin, vitamins B6, B12, and folate. Over a median follow-up of 13.25 years, 0.9% of participants developed migraines. The study found that each standard deviation increase in niacin and vitamin B12 intake reduced migraine risk by 3% and 4%, respectively. Notably, magnesium, niacin, and vitamin B12 demonstrated significant protective effects. These findings suggest dietary adjustments could help manage migraine risk.
