  • A study investigated the link between serum carotenoids, known for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, and the risk of migraines in U.S. adults.
  • Out of 7,744 participants, 20.6% reported having migraines, with higher serum levels of certain carotenoids (α-carotene, β-carotene, and lutein + zeaxanthin) linked to a lower risk of migraines.
