Magnesium and Magnesium for Migraine prophylaxis
Each entry’s own grades, side by side. A grade says how strong the evidence is for one outcome — it does not rank one entry over the other.

Magnesium
A cofactor in 300+ reactions that a large fraction of adults under-consume — real, modest benefits for sleep, blood pressure, and migraine.
