Migraines, these debilitating headaches need no introduction. Majority of the sufferers from this disease are women and searching for something safe to make the pain go away is what to the most of those victims.
A calcium deficiency can exacerbate migraine symptoms, say New York City endocrinologist Susan Thys-Jacobs, M.D. (Roberts-Grey, 2008).
Women suffer migraines more often than men because "women are more prone to calcium deficiencies than men," says Thys-Jacobs, a leader in hormonal research (p.56). Most women experience low calcium levels during premenstrual or ovulatory phase of their menstrual cycle. "The hormones that regulate calcium react negatively with high levels of estrogen and progesterone, which causes a deficiency that can trigger migraines," she says (p.56).
Thys-Jacobs recommends 100 mg calcium and 1,000 to 2,000 IU of Vitamin D on a full stomach (p.56).
