HOW DOES THE IV MAX-MIGRAINE & HEADACHE WORK?
Migraines are a complex dysfunction within the nervous system with various factors that may contribute. These include food intolerances, serotonin levels, hormone imbalances, stress, nutrient deficiencies, and other imbalances in neurotransmitters such as GABA and glutamate. This formula targets the pathways of neuroexcitation in the brain and body that are linked to migraines and headaches.
faqs
Ingredients: B Vitamins, Methyl B12 (active B12), Vitamin C, Calcium, Chromium, Copper, Magnesium, Manganese, Selenium, Zinc, Acetyl- L-Carnitine, Taurine
- B vitamins help energy production and reduce the effects of stress on the body.
- Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) has been shown to be effective in preventing migraines in both children and adults.1,2
- Vitamin B5 helps support the production of hormones while vitamin B6 is needed for the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin.
- Active forms of Vitamin B12 and folate help to reduce homocysteine, that is linked to a higher incidence of MTHFR gene mutation or dysfunction, stroke, coronary artery disease, and migraines.
- Vitamin C helps to reduce inflammation, pain, and is vital to collagen production.3
- Calcium helps to relax spasms in muscles to help headaches and migraines.
- Chromium helps to balance blood sugar.
- Copper supports adrenal health and stress reduction.
- Magnesium is essential in controlling brain electrical activity, especially with regard to reducing the contraction of blood vessels thereby supporting brain blood flow and modulating the excitatory-to-inhibitory actions of GABA and glutamate in the brain, respectively.4 Studies show that up to 50% of migraine patients are deficient in the amounts of magnesium in their blood during an attack, and that they can have a high ratio of calcium to magnesium.5-7
- Manganese helps in energy production.
- Selenium helps protect the body from mitochondrial oxidative stress which is important to help reduce migraines.8
- Zinc is required for the synthesis of melatonin and CoQ10 which are all strong antioxidants and have found to be low in migraineurs.9
- L-Acetyl-Carnitine is involved in energy production and is important for optimal function of the brain, muscles, and organs. Early research suggests that L-carnitine along with magnesium may help prevent migraines.10
- Taurine is an amino acid that can protect against liver damage that is associated with long term use of certain migraine medications such as Sumatriptan which is in the triptan drug category and is mostly prescribed for abortive treatment of migraines.11,12
Note – formulas may be modified occasionally
Optional Add Ons
- IM Fuel D: Vitamin D supplementation may help reduce the frequency of migraine attacks.13
This mini helps to provide B vitamins, Magnesium, and amino acids to relax the nervous system.
