Dosing yourself with the B-vitamin riboflavin may be one way to prevent migraine headaches. Belgian researches treated 55 migraine patients with daily doses of either 400 milligrams (that's about 200 times the RDA) of riboflavin or a placebo.

After three months, 59 percent of those who had the riboflavin supplement reported a 50 percent reduction in migraine headaches compared to only 15 percent of the subjects in the placebo group.

Since there were few side effects associated with the high riboflavin may doses, the researchers suggested that riboflavin may hold hope for migraine sufferers.
