For reducing headaches, particularly migraine headaches, the following supplements have shown potential benefits:

1. Riboflavin (Vitamin B2): High-dose riboflavin (400 mg daily) has been shown to reduce the frequency and severity of migraine attacks¹².
2. Magnesium: Magnesium deficiency is common in people who suffer from migraines, and supplementation can reduce the frequency of attacks³.
3. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10): Studies suggest that CoQ10 supplementation can reduce the frequency and severity of migraines⁴⁵.
4. Feverfew: This herbal supplement may reduce the frequency of migraines, though results can be variable⁶.
5. Vitamin D: There is some evidence to suggest that vitamin D supplementation can help with headache prophylaxis, especially in cases of deficiency⁷.

Before starting any supplement regimen, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare provider to ensure it is appropriate for your specific condition and circumstances.
