    Supplements for headaches and breastmilk


    My dr recommended the following for headaches - are these ok to take while breastfeeding?

    Magnesium glycinate 200-400 mg daily
    Riboflavin 400 mg daily
    Co-Q 10 300 mg daily​

    the magnesium glycinate I have has these ingredients: Magnesium (from Magnesium Bisglycinate), BioPerine® Black Pepper Extract (Piper nigrum) (fruit), Vegetable Cellulose Capsule, Magnesium Stearate, Cellulose and Silica.​

    Yes! This is a great combo for migraine prevention.
    See our article here: Migraine Management in Breastfeeding (A quick reference) | InfantRisk Center ([url]https://infantrisk.com/content/migraine-management-breastfeeding-quick-reference[/url])
    Magnesium sulfate tends to have less absorption, but magnesium glycinate is ok as well. I would recommend avoiding the added ingredients like black pepper.

      Okay thank you! What about magnesium citrate or oxide? I believe glycinate is prescribed because it is absorbed more and doesn’t have as much of a laxative effect.
