Deficiency of vitamins B12 and folate can hinder production of red blood
cells, resulting in headaches triggered by a reduced oxygen supply to the
tissues.1 In addition, an analysis of serum levels of vitamin B6 is crucial for
confirming diagnosis of histamine-induced headaches caused by nitric
oxide.2 Other vitamins, such as vitamins A and D, can also play a key role in both the treatment and etiology of migraines.3,4

Two tests are available for testing of nutrient deficiencies . 1. The Spectra Nutrient Analysis and 2. The NutriEval. Crucial vitamins
using serum and plasma samples can be used to monitor
supplementation therapy.
