Dietary supplements are an important part of many treatment regimens for headache and Migraine prevention. When we buy supplements, most of us assume that we’re getting exactly what the label says we’re getting. That’s not always the case. Some supplements pose health risks. They may contain harmful ingredients or be improperly manufactured or handled.

On June 22, 2007, the FDA announced a final rule establishing current good manufacturing practice requirements (CGMPs) for dietary supplements. In addition, by the end of the year, industry will be required to report all serious dietary supplement adverse events to FDA.

The generally long periods of time between my Migraines are the result of working with a Migraine specialist to refine my preventive regimen. You can see my current regimen HERE.

Very interesting of turn of events for the Dietary Supplements. I'm surprised that the FDA is getting involved since none of them are FDA approved. But yet its good to know if they are safe or not. But it can be a good but scary time at, the same time as well.

This is very good news, indeed, especially in the regard to the requirement of reporting adverse events.
