Thank you, I will. Interesting you mention the B12 and Magnesium. My daughter and I both get Migraines. I didn’t think I got them enough to warrant a visit to the Neurologist but my daughter was getting them quite frequently. She didn’t want to take a prescription so the doctor prescribed B12 and Magnesium which she says has helped a lot. Maybe a genetic thing?

It's not impossible, but unlikely. More likely, similar lifestyle and diets lacking in foods which are supplying B12, (e.g., beef, liver etc., which is why vegans usually use B12 and other supplements) and sufficient amount of absorbable magnesium (e.g., magnesium oxide is the most popular form sold in stores, but nearly useless, except for softening / laxative effect, because less than 7% of it is actually absorbed by the body.)

Magnesium also has certain smooth muscle-relaxing effect, so that's another way it might help alleviate muscle pain and reduce instances of tension / migraine headaches.
