More on combination supplements
My recent blog post on supplement combinations mentioned one that contains magnesium, riboflavin, and feverfew. I did not mention its name to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest. I am a paid consultant to the manufacturer. However, many readers of this blog want to know the name of this mystery product. It is called MigreLief.
Akeso, the manufacturer, also makes several related products. One is MigreLief NOW, which contains magnesium, feverfew, ginger, and boswellia. Both ginger and boswellia have proven anti-inflammatory properties.
Another product is a daily MigreLief supplement for children. It also contains magnesium, riboflavin and feverfew but at a lower dose and in smaller caplets.
Yes, there is a blood test for CoQ10 and magnesium (RBC magnesium is the more accurate than a regular serum magnesium test). Also, the test may look normal but if it is at the bottom of normal range, it is not normal. RBC magnesium should be above 5 and CoQ10 above 0.7.
Hello dr Mauskop,could this be helpful with muscle spasms,neck, causing worse headache or being the cause of it?
Understand that maybe a deficiency as cause for spasms but don’t know which+ whether boswellia or Coq10,or magnesium hard to metabolize for some,might help.I take oral magnesiums but don’t seem to metabolize. Is there a test for magnesium or for Coq10 deficiency? Thanks
Any major brand is good – Solgar, Nature’s Way, Nautre Made, etc.
Is there any particular manufacturer you recommend for (non combination) riboflavin supplements? Thank you.
