We aimed to understand how dietary vitamin C affects migraines by analyzing data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, conducted from 1999 to 2004. In this survey, we identified adults who reported experiencing severe headaches or migraines over the past three months.
Our findings were quite revealing. Out of 4,101 participants, 702 individuals reported having a migraine, which represents about 17% of the group. We discovered an interesting trend: higher dietary vitamin C intake seemed to correlate with a lower likelihood of experiencing migraines. Specifically, participants with the highest vitamin C intake had a 36% reduced odds of suffering from migraines compared to those with the lowest intake.
We employed various statistical methods to confirm our results, including logistic regression and restricted cubic spline regression, which showed a clear linear relationship between vitamin C intake and the frequency of migraines.
Overall, this study suggests that increasing our dietary vitamin C might help minimize migraines, which is promising news for those who suffer from these intense headaches. However, as with all studies, further research is necessary to solidify these findings and fully understand the relationship between vitamin C and headache relief.

Vitamin C linked to reduced migraines
In our exploration of how dietary factors might influence migraine headaches, we examined the connection between vitamin C intake and headache intensity and frequency among women. The study included 265 participants who reported their dietary intake, and we focused particularly on their antioxidant quality score, which reflects the quality of their dietary antioxidants.
We observed noteworthy findings. Women with a higher dietary antioxidant quality score had significantly lower levels of migraine pain and fewer headache days. This trend was especially true for those who consumed more vitamin C. We found that higher vitamin C intake was associated with less severe headache pain, indicating that including more of this vitamin in our diets could potentially help alleviate migraine symptoms.
Furthermore, we noted that other antioxidants might also play a role, but vitamin C stood out in its association with reduced migraine severity. Overall, this research reinforces the idea that dietary choices, particularly those rich in vitamin C, could benefit those grappling with migraine headaches and should be closely monitored.

Used this to help with H1N1 flu recovery. After falling ill, I was given numerous medications but didn't improve until I tried Emergen-C. To my amazement, I felt better within an hour. It is astonishing how much it helped me recover from fatigue and a prolonged sinus infection. My experience has led my family to believe it significantly aided our recovery from the H1N1 flu.
