Missing Mineral ENDS Pounding Headaches?

Friend, we’ve ALL been there…

The moment a pounding headache digs in… and makes you feel like you’ve been hit by a truck!

Your head is about to explode… you’re extra sensitive to light… you can barely see straight… and it feels like you’ll toss your cookies at any moment!

And if you’re like most folks who reach for over-the-counter medicine, you know that pain-free relief NEVER comes quick enough!

Let’s put an end to the head pounding misery.

Fighting back against a pounding headache doesn’t mean you need to cross your fingers in hopes that an OTC remedy works (or tough it out in a darkened room).

All your body ACTUALLY needs is a little more of this missing mineral.

Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in our bodies and it’s necessary for countless functions, including blood sugar control and nerve transmission.

However, you might be one of the millions of Americans not getting enough of it… even WITH a healthy diet.

See, evidence suggests that magnesium deficiency is more common in people who get frequent migraine headaches, compared to those who don’t.

Studies have shown that treatment with 600 mg of oral magnesium citrate per day helped REDUCE both the frequency and severity of migraine headaches.

And in one study, supplementing with just 1 gram of magnesium provided relief from an acute migraine attack more quickly and effectively than a common medication.

Let’s compare that to ibuprofen — a common OTC medication used to treat headaches. The recommended dose of ibuprofen is 400 mg every four hours.

That’s a whopping 2,400 mg in a day… all for relief that may NEVER come!

Magnesium is widely available both as a supplement AND in countless foods.

Reliable magnesium supplements can be found at health food stores and online retailers. And foods like pumpkin seeds, spinach, and even mouthwatering dark chocolate are chock full of magnesium.

So, the next time you feel a pounding headache coming on… don’t reach for OTC meds… give magnesium a try!

To a headache-free life,
