Everyone’s had a headache from time to time, but anyone who’s had a migraine headache certainly understands the true misery that a migraine can bring on. Today I want to talk about different nutrients that may be supportive if you do have the tendency to succumb to a migraine.†
Migraines are a major problem in this country, but when it comes to traditional medical approaches, there are still many things that are unknown. Many people who have migraines may not even be diagnosed. It’s estimated that about 40 million Americans get migraines.†
We know that migraines are recurrent and often debilitating. There are some people who have migraines that can last for days. It is generally accompanied by other factors including nausea and sensitivity to sound or light.†
It’s difficult to pinpoint factors that may trigger pinpoint headaches. Some people speculate that things such as stress, sleep, food and hormones.†
We can’t overlook the nutritional deficiencies and hormonal imbalances when it comes to migraines. For instance, someone may have a melatonin deficiency that is impacting their sleep schedule and thus creating headaches. Deficiencies of magnesium and B vitamins may also be linked to migraines. These are important factors to consider.†
The relationship between migraines and hormonal imbalances is more commonly seen in women. It’s important to have your hormone levels tested to help narrow down what might be the cause of the headaches.†

When we look at the top health conditions throughout the country, there is one condition that is so commonly overlooked and I want to talk about that today. This condition is called tinnitus and it is impacting so many people. I want to give you some insight into what you can be doing and how to approach this particular condition.†
Tinnitus is very closely linked to hearing loss. It is characterized by a persistent ringing or buzzing sensation within the ear. It can be triggered by a variety of different causes. A majority of tinnitus cases are associated with hearing loss.†
The American Tinnitus Association has reported that over 45 million Americans struggle with tinnitus, making it one of the most common health conditions in the United States. For many people, this is a constant and regular condition that poses issues in their everyday lives. This constant annoyance makes it difficult to just do daily tasks. It impacts your ability to focus and get a restful night of sleep. When that happens, that starts to affect all aspects of our overall health, including blood pressure, metabolism, blood glucose levels and more.†

The hair cells within the inner ear are specialized nerve cells that are tasked with translating sound waves into interpretive signals for the brain. Over time, these hair cells can be damaged by loud sounds. They can also become damaged if they are deprived of key nutrients, such as antioxidants, that they need to fend off damaging reactive oxygen species.†
If we try to regulate inflammation within the inner ear and replenish the antioxidants that have been wiped out, this can be very promising to those who deal with this chronic condition.†
One nutrient that can be beneficial is N-acetylcysteine (NAC). This is a naturally-occurring antioxidant that has been shown to protect the inner ear, which can be damaged due to noise. Glutathione also plays a role in supporting hearing. The endogenous antioxidant lipoic acid can also help fend off oxidative stress that impacts the health of the inner ear. B-vitamins such as methylfolate and methylcobalamin also play a role in the health of the nerve cells found in the ear. Magnesium can support proper circulation to the hair cells in the ear. When you combine NAC, magnesium and our Methyl-B formulation, they all work synergistically together. Even coenzyme Q10 and zinc play a significant role in tinnitus as they help support hearing and energy within the ear itself.†
