Is MigraSoothe Safe While Breastfeeding?

A Closer Look at Riboflavin, CoQ10 & Magnesium

We are proud to offer products that naturally support migraine relief — and broader neurological and systemic wellness. Migraines are often a symptom of deeper imbalances, and smart supplementation can be an important part of rebalancing the body.

We often hear from new mothers who love the natural support MigraSoothe offers — but understandably want reassurance that it’s safe to use while breastfeeding. In this article, we explore the safety of MigraSoothe’s key ingredients — Riboflavin (Vitamin B2), Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), and Magnesium Citrate — specifically in the context of nursing.

Riboflavin 400mg and Breastfeeding

Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) is one of the most evidence-backed nutrients for migraine prevention. MigraSoothe includes it at the clinically supported dose of 400 mg — significantly higher than the daily requirement, but well-tolerated even during breastfeeding.

According to LactMed and the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements, riboflavin is water-soluble. Excess amounts are excreted in urine. While some riboflavin may pass into breast milk, no harmful effects have been reported in breastfed infants.

Typical Adjuncts for Severe Migraine: CoQ10 and Magnesium

For more severe or persistent migraine sufferers, we often recommend combining Riboflavin with two other natural supports:

• Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) – An antioxidant that supports mitochondrial function and energy production. It's commonly used alongside riboflavin in migraine protocols.
• Magnesium – A mineral that supports nerve health, muscle function, and may help prevent migraine onset.

Let’s look at how both fit into breastfeeding safety.

MigraSoothe Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) and Nursing

CoQ10 is naturally produced in the body and plays a key role in cellular energy. While formal studies in breastfeeding are limited, sources like LactMed consider it to be low risk. It has a large molecular size and fat solubility, which makes significant transfer into breast milk unlikely.

Because CoQ10 has a long half-life (about 33 hours), some nursing users of MigraSoothe choose to take it every other day. This is a personal choice and not medically required, but can feel like a gentler option for those wanting to be extra cautious.

MigraSoothe Magnesium and Breastfeeding

Magnesium is essential for both mothers and babies and is already found in breast milk. The NIH and LactMed both state that oral magnesium supplements are not known to cause harm to breastfed infants when used within normal ranges.

Some breastfeeding customers choose to start with a lower dose (e.g., one capsule instead of two), especially if they’ve experienced loose stools or mild digestive sensitivity. This gentler introduction is perfectly acceptable and often well-tolerated.

Final Thoughts

MigraSoothe is thoughtfully formulated with ingredients that have strong safety profiles, even during breastfeeding. While individual responses can vary, many nursing mothers have used these nutrients safely — often with the guidance of their GP or health practitioner.

If you're currently breastfeeding and considering MigraSoothe or its supporting nutrients like CoQ10 or magnesium, we always recommend speaking to your healthcare provider, especially if you're taking medications or have specific health needs.
