If You Suffer From Migraines,You May Be Low In This Vitamin

Migraine headaches are ridiculously common. They can cause intense, throbbing

pain; nausea; vomiting and sensitivity to light and sound that can seriously affect

your quality of life. This new study suggests that getting more of one simple

vitamin could help.

This study compared levels of vitamin B12 in people who suffered from migraines

to the levels in people who didn’t. The migraine group was further divided into

people who suffered chronic migraine and people whose migraines were

episodic.

The migraine group had significantly lower levels of B12, and the chronic

migraine sufferers had significantly lower B12 levels than people with episodic

migraines.

Adding to the evidence, lower B12 was significantly associated with greater

severity of migraine attacks.

This study offers the possibility that low levels of B12 are associated with

migraine headaches and their severity. It is the second recent study to find an

association between low B12 levels and migraine (J Headache Pain. 2025 Nov
