Obviously everything I put on this list is not necessary. I will be placing supplements into different categories, with reasonings and references. I will let you decide which ones will be a part of your regimen.

Preventing that might be difficult. I know some people have luck using CoQ10 to lower headaches, but I am not sure it would work in this exact context.
