IV Vitamins for Migraine and Headache Relief

What vitamin deficiency causes migraines?

Vitamin deficiencies are common across the US, with nearly 31% of Americans suffering from at least one deficiency. Problems caused by vitamin deficiency range from anemia and low blood sugar to migraines.

Many people suffer from chronic headaches due to their vitamin deficiency. These same people search for relief in Tylenol, Advil, or prescription medication. However, there is a much better and healthier way to get rid of headaches: vitamin infusion therapy. 

IV treatment for migraines and headaches provides hydration, electrolytes, and essential minerals directly into your bloodstream for fast and efficient results.

What are migraines and headaches?

Migraines and headaches are head pains that feel like throbbing, pulsing, and/or aching in and around the brain. There are different types of headaches: tension headaches, cluster headaches, dehydration headaches, and migraine headaches.

Both conditions can feel similar, but a migraine is more painful or annoying than a headache. Often, an individual will experience a light and gradual pain in the head before migraine symptoms become worse.

Migraines can be chronic (15 headache days per month with at least eight of those being migraines) or episodic (fewer than 15 headache days per month).

It’s unclear why people experience migraines and headaches. However, some triggers include:

• Stress
• Tension build-up
• Caffeine withdrawal or overdose
• Diet
• Hormonal changes such as pregnancy
• Excessive usage of pain medication

Vitamins for migraines

Many people seek relief from migraines and headaches through dietary supplements and prescription drugs. With a dietary change, you will not see a significant difference for a few months, so may turn to prescription or over-the-counter drugs for fast relief.   

The best vitamins for migraines are:

• Vitamin B2
• Magnesium
• Vitamin D
• Coenzyme Q10
• Melatonin

Deficiency in any of these vitamins can be detrimental to one’s health resulting in more than just headaches.

Migraine prevention vitamins

Since vitamin B2, vitamin D, and magnesium are known migraine prevention vitamins, intravenous (IV) therapy combines these to help reduce migraine attacks. Other mixtures include melatonin and coenzyme Q10.

Any deficiency in these vitamins for migraines will cause chronic pain, insomnia, and ongoing migraines that don’t go away.

How to treat migraines

One in seven migraine sufferers goes to the emergency room each year for severe migraine pain. ER treatment for acute migraines often includes a mixture of the following drugs:

• Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen or ketorolac (Toradol)
• Acetaminophen
• IV hydration – fluids and electrolytes
• Antiemetics – anti-nausea medication
• Dexamethasone – an anti-inflammatory drug
• Triptans – drugs that calm pain nerves

Migraine vitamin cocktail

When dealing with severe pain, you don’t want to drive to the emergency room, you want relief now. We can blend a migraine IV vitamin cocktail for instant migraine relief. Usually, a migraine cocktail is a mixture of migraine medications, vitamins, and hydration pumped straight into the bloodstream for quick results.

Our pharmacists can create the perfect cocktail to treat your migraine pain quickly, and you can even receive your IV infusion in the comfort of your own home.

Some cocktails include IV magnesium and can take up to an hour before you feel your migraine slip away. Depending on the drugs administered in the concoction, you may feel some side effects such as drowsiness, nausea, and dizziness, among others.

While our migraine cocktail is a good migraine treatment option, IV vitamin infusion can help decrease migraine attacks. We can create the perfect vitamin cocktail to help migraine patients suffer less pain, as well as increase energy levels and improve overall health.

Vitamin B for migraines

B complex vitamins are helpful for prevention or reducing the severity of migraines.

Being deficient in vitamin B2, also known as riboflavin, is the number one contributor to headaches and migraines. So, having an increase in vitamin B2 is important when it comes to combating this type of chronic pain.

Vitamin B12 has also been shown to reduce the severity of migraines with aura.

The foods you’ll find B vitamins are in fish, red meats, leafy greens, yeast, nuts, and fermented dairy products like cheese.

Magnesium for migraine prevention

Science shows that a deficiency in magnesium leads to migraines and headaches. Magnesium is a natural pain reducer and muscle relaxant.

So, with a low dose of magnesium, your body is more likely to tense up, causing the nervous system to go into overdrive which causes migraines. The same process for sodium relates to chronic migraines as salt helps store water in your body. If you notice that you have been sweating quite a bit lately, you may have a sodium deficiency.

Since migraines and headaches are similar and require the same treatment, some people may wonder can vitamin deficiency cause headaches as well?

In short, the answer is yes. However, a deficiency will start with a gradual headache, building up to a full-blown migraine if not taken seriously.

Can low vitamin D cause headaches?

Studies have shown that a lack of vitamin D has caused headaches and migraines. So, yes you can have a vitamin D migraine.

A healthy vitamin D level is approximately above 20ml per day. You can obtain vitamin D through natural sources such as the sun, orange juice, egg yolks, red meat, and fish.

It is quite common to have a deficiency in vitamin D in the fall and winter months. The symptoms of a vitamin D deficiency are:
