On the sciencedaily.com website, there is a report of a conference paper presented by Dr. Suzanne Hagler of the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital at the Annual Scientific Meeting of the American Headache Society in San Diego. Dr. Hagler reported that teens and young adults with migraineMigraine headaches are defined as unprovoked headaches that typically last from one to three days and are severe enough to limit or halt routine daily activity. Typically, too, migraine headaches are accompanied by nausea and sensitivity to light and sound. Studies have shown that CoQ10 supplementation can help to prevent and treat migraine headache. CoQ10 supplements have had statistically significant... More headaches are often found to have mild deficiencies of Coenzyme Q10Coenzyme Q10 molecules are fat-soluble molecules that are both bsynthesized in the body and ingested in the diet and in supplements. Coenzyme Q10 is synthesized in the body in the same biological pathway as cholesterol. Bio-synthesis of Coenzyme Q10 begins to decline once humans reach their adult years. The reduced production of Coenzyme Q10 cannot be compensated in any practical... More, vitamin D, and the B vitamin riboflavin [1].
