MigraClear™ 's - Proprietary Blend of Ingredients:

Magnesium is an essential mineral for over 300 different chemical reactions in the body. Known as the "miracle mineral", it is critical in controlling vasospasms (the contraction and dilation of blood vessels in the brain which occurs during migraines). Individuals who suffer from recurring migraines often have lower magnesium levels. Oral magnesium supplementation has been shown to increase intracellular magnesium levels in people with migraines.
Many studies have demonstrated the positive effects Magnesium has upon migraine prevention. A 1989 study suggested, "Low brain Magnesium is an important factor in the mechanism of the migraine attack" (Ramadan et al., 1989). Furthermore, some headache patients who use Magnesium report relief from migraines. Authors of a 1996 German study wrote that “high-dose oral Magnesium appears to be effective" in treating migraine (Peikert et al., 1996).

Riboflavin appears to have several positive effects on the prevention of migraines. Evidence indicates that impaired mitochondrial oxygen in the brain plays a role in the pathology of migraine headaches. Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) is essential to tissue respiration and generation of energy metabolism from proteins, carbs and fats.

Two important randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled trials examined the effect of 400mg of Riboflavin a day for three months on migraine reduction in men and women with a history of recurring migraine headaches. Riboflavin was significantly better than a placebo in reducing attack frequency and number of attacks, especially during the third month of treatment.

It should also be noted, that Riboflavin can cause the urine to turn a yellow-orange colour. This is nothing to be concerned about, as it is a natural side effect that requires no further action.

Feverfew, is a popular herbal remedy often advocated for the reduction of migraines, helps migraines by inhibiting the release of blood vessel dilating substances from platelets and inhibiting the production of inflammatory substances. Numerous double blind placebo controlled trials have been conducted on this herb. Treatment with Feverfew was associated with reduced vomiting and a reduction in the number and severity of attacks in many of these studies. Visual analogue scores also showed an improvement with Feverfew. There are no serious side-effects and no major safety problems.

Butterbur is a potent herb which has been shown effective for reducing migraine headaches. Butterbur's headache-preventive capabilities likely stem from its anti-inflammatory and spasmolytic (muscle-relaxant) effects. It contains active components known as isopetasin, oxopetasin, and petasin, which induce smooth muscle relaxation, particularly in cerebral blood vessel walls. Research indicates that petasin inhibits the proinflammatory lipoxygenase (LOX) enzyme, while both petasin and isopetasin exert highly potent anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting leukotriene synthesis.

Butterbur is an herb that naturally contains a toxin called pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs). PA's can damage the liver and cause other bodily harm over time. MigraClear™ uses a certified PA free form of Butterbur that completely removes PA's and provides an ultra pure form of this ingredient.

An important clinical trial conducted by Department of Neurology, Albert Einstein College of Medicine concluded that Butterbur is well tolerated and an effective therapy for migraines. The Department of Neurology, University of Essen, Germany also performed a double-blind and placebo-controlled clinical trial and concluded that migraine attacks could maximally be reduced by 52% in the Butterbur group.

Niacin is crucial to about 50 chemical reactions in the body. It helps in the release of energy from carbohydrates, fats and cholesterol metabolism and the regulation of blood sugar levels. Niacin sometimes causes a flushing of the face and in the process flushes the migraine away. In one study, 81% of headache sufferers reported positive results when using niacin and in another study 75% had complete headache relief when given Niacin. The migraine formula contains 20 mg of Niacin, which may cause a flushing or "prickly heat" sensation to the face and upper body, usually 15-30 minutes after taking it. However, at a higher dose, there is a common, but harmless, side effect known as the “Niacin Flush.” The skin becomes red, warm and is often accompanied by a burning sensation and occasionally some itching and maybe dizziness. Since Niacin can upset your stomach, you might want to take it with food, and water. Even at high doses, Niacin is safe. Even if the flushing is extreme, though uncomfortable, it will go away and is harmless.

Ginger has been shown to decrease pain and scientists have discovered nine compounds found in ginger which bind to human serotonin receptors, helping to reduce triggers that cause migraines. Also, Ginger has been found effective in multiple studies for treating nausea. Several clinical trials have been performed using Feverfew and Ginger in the treatment of migraines. The conclusion states “Sublingual Feverfew/Ginger appears safe and effective as a first-line abortive treatment for a population of migraineurs who frequently experience mild headache prior to the onset of moderate to severe headache."

White Willow Bark Extract (Salix Alba) is a natural extract containing the active ingredient called salicin, which is a precursor to aspirin. Salicin is a Cox-1 and Cox-2 inhibitor, which acts as an anti-inflammatory and also reduces pain by inhibiting prostaglandins.

One recent study indicated that White Willow Bark and Feverfew had a greater effect at reducing migraines than when taken separately. Several countries in Europe including The German Commission and The European Scientific Cooperative on Phytotherapy have approved Willow Bark extract as an analgesic to treat fever and pain.

Get The Facts About Migraines

A migraine headache is usually an intense, throbbing pain on one side of your head, however, it can affect both sides of the head. Most individuals who suffer from migraine headache feel the pain in the temples or behind one eye or ear, although in reality, any part of the head can be affected. It is believed that in the U.S., more than 37 million people suffer from migraines at some stage in their lives, with 2-3 million migraine sufferers considered as 'chronic'.

Migraine can occur any time of the day, although it often starts in the morning. The pain can last anywhere from a few hours up to 72 hours. Some people get migraines once or twice a week, others are known to suffer daily. Others, only once or twice a year. Most of the time, migraines are not considered to be a threat to your overall health. However, migraine attacks can and often do, interfere considerably with your day-to-day quality of life.

What is a Migraine?

Migraine is considered a chronic health condition, not just simply a bad headache. It is an extremely debilitating collection of neurological symptoms and ranks in the top 20 of the world's most disabling medical illnesses.

Nearly 1 in 4 U.S. households includes someone who is considered to be a migraine sufferer, and all ages and gender can be affected.

Over 27 million women are affected by migraines in the United States today. Estrogen adversely influences the brain receptors that may play a role in the development of a migraine. About 50% of women affected have more than one attack each month, and a quarter experience 4 or more severe attacks per month. More severe and more frequent attacks often result from fluctuations in estrogen levels. Menstrual migraine is an attack that occurs up to 2 days before and up to 3 days after menstrual onset. They are generally more severe and harder to control than other type of migraine.

Unfortunately, migraines are also very common in children. It has been reported in children as young as 18 months old. About 10% of school-age children suffer from migraines. Half of all migraine sufferers have their first attack before the age of 12. Before puberty, boys suffer from migraines more often than girls. As adolescence approaches, the incidence increases more rapidly in girls than in boys.

Migraine Symptoms

Symptoms vary between individuals and each may display different symptoms during a migraine attacks, which also may differ in length and frequency. Migraines usually last anywhere from 4 to 72 hours and most people are free from symptoms between migraine attacks. Besides pain, migraine can also cause nausea, vomiting and sensitivity to light and sound.

There are several different types of migraine, the most common types of migraine fall within two categories - migraine with aura and migraine without aura. Aura, is a term used to describe a set of neurological symptom associated with migraine, most commonly they include visual disturbances such as blind or colored spots, sparkles or stars, flashing lights before the eyes, tunnel vision, zig zag lines and temporary blindness.

Migraines are a complex health condition with a wide ranging symptoms for individuals. There is currently no known cure for migraines.

What are the Causes and Characteristics of Migraines?

There is no known 'specific' cause for migraines, although most people who suffer are genetically predisposed to migraines. If you are susceptible to migraines there are certain triggers which commonly are associated with attacks. These include, but are not limited to, stress, lack of food, alcohol, hormonal changes in women, lack of sleep and the environment.

There are specific stages and symptoms of migraine that distinguish it from a regular headache. These include:

How are Migraines Diagnosed?

There are no specific tests to diagnose migraines. For an accurate diagnosis to be made, your doctor must identify and acknowledge a pattern of recurring headaches along with the associated symptoms to officially diagnose.

To help with the diagnosis, it can be very useful to keep a diary of your migraine attacks for a several weeks with details of when the migraine began, how long the attack lasted, what symptoms you experienced and what medication you took (if any). Also, it is helpful to make a note of the food you ate that day and, for women, when you started your period, as this can help your doctor identify potential triggers.

Your doctor may decide to refer you to a neurologist for further assessment and treatment if a diagnosis is unclear, you experience migraines on 15 days or more per month (chronic migraine), or treatment is not helping to control your symptoms.

Migraine is not a quick fix condition. It is not a health condition that can, or should, be dealt with in a few minutes and then forgotten. Attempts to do so will often result in difficulties in diagnosing and treating the condition, and a less than satisfying experience for both doctor and patient. Migraine is not a static condition so there will be periods of time when patients need relatively little care and attention and then periods when they will need closer monitoring and advice. The time spent collecting a clear history of your migraines, will be incredibly beneficial in diagnosing and therapeutic success.
