Bright Pee, Quiet Brain: Riboflavin’s 400 mg Knock-out Punch 💊

Migraine day feels like someone unplugged your brain and kicked you off the field. I’m not handing you another groggy prescription—just vitamin B2. One meta-analysis of nine trials shows 400 mg riboflavin daily slashes attack frequency, duration, and agony in three months (source). No hospital bills, just neon-yellow urine and a quieter skull. Ready for a simpler fix?

DIAGNOSIS

  • Mitochondria in migraine brains misfire—energy crash.
  • Intense training drains B-vitamins faster than gossip spreads.
  • Teen meds = side-effect circus; focus tanks, grades follow.
“You can’t out-train a nutrient deficit—cells keep the receipts.” 🩺

AUTOPSY

Problem → Twist → Payoff loop 🧠: You treat migraines like random lightning; truth— they’re metabolic brownouts. Twist: riboflavin reloads mitochondrial ATP turbines, stabilising neuronal voltage. Payoff: fewer headquakes, sharper workouts, zero prescription hangover.

PRESCRIPTION

  1. Replace — “as-needed” painkillers with 400 mg riboflavin breakfast stack.
  2. Ritualize — pair B2 with magnesium + water; set calendar reminder.
  3. Audit — log migraine days & training output every week; adjust after 90 days.

PROGNOSIS

Nail the protocol and migraines retreat, recovery speeds up, and your highlight reel lengthens. Ignore it and keep gambling big games on little blood levels.
