Product Information

MigraKet® is a unique holistic medical food containing most micro- and macro-nutrients necessary for energy production, including bioactive, human identical ketone bodies - the brain’s preferred fuel source and antioxidants. It is specifically formulated to meet the nutritional requirements of migraine patients and to compensate for the dysfunctional brain energy metabolism which can lie at the root of migraine attacks and that can’t be addressed through diet modification alone.

We know the pain of migraine first hand – our founder, Dr Elena Gross, as well as other team members, have suffered themselves, so bringing medical food for fellow patients is at the core of everything we do.

  • You can understand the power of MigraKet® in 3 easy steps:
  • 1. Migraine and Energy: While the cause of migraine is still not fully understood, one of the consistent findings include reduced glucose metabolism and mitochondrial function (the powerhouses of your cells). All of these can lead to an energy deficit which is likely to be the root cause of migraine in a large subgroup of patients. To save the precious energy which your brain so desperately needs, it turns on the “warning signal”: a migraine, forcing you to rest and restore energy homeostasis.
  • 2. Ketone Bodies for Energy:On a carbohydrate rich diet the brain’s primary source of energy is glucose. However, we know that the brain can also use ketone bodies, which can serve as an alternative, cleaner and more efficient, fuel. Unfortunately, your body only produces these ketone bodies in meaningful amounts, when you are fasting or severely limiting carbohydrates and moderate proteins.

3. Energy for Migraine: We believe that migraine is actually an evolutionarily adaptive response to energy deficiency or oxidative stress – the damaging byproduct of inefficient energy production – in the brain. We are solving this energy problem by supplying a unique mix of macro- and micro-nutrients, including antioxidants and ketone bodies – the alternative energy source, all aimed at improving metabolism in the brain. This is not possible to achieve by simple modifications of a normal diet alone.You can learn more on our blog: LINK

We strongly believe that metabolism can be a root cause of migraine – but not in all cases. It’s an extremely heterogeneous disorder and to take a “one-size-fits-all” solution here would not do it justice. We estimate that around half of migraine patients will have suboptimal metabolism contributing to their migraine.

It can take around 3-4 weeks for your body to adjust and for you to see the first results. If you don’t see any change in your migraine after taking MigraKet®  for 4 weeks as intended, metabolism might not be a large contributing factor of your migraine.

We know that this is one of the main concerns of migraine patients, as so many of the drugs have intolerable side effects. But we’ve got you covered! There have been no major systemic side effects of MigraKet® reported: minor might include gastrointestinal distress in the first weeks. Should this happen, taking MigraKet® after food might help to reduce it, by decreasing the mineral load on an empty stomach (especially at the beginning).

Always consult your medical professional when changing your migraine medication or regimen, this includes the addition of MigraKet®.

During a ketogenic diet, topiramate (Topamax or other) is a contra-indication. MigraKet® contains ketone bodies. It should not be used conjointly with topiramte-containing drugs. This includes the addition of MigraKet, which is intended to be used under medical supervision.

MigraKet® is orange-flavored.

Simply dissolve it in water, adjust to taste (we recommend around 16 oz) and enjoy! Take it 2 times a day (morning & late afternoon) or as directed by your physician. You can take it with or without food, but if you experience any gastrointestinal upset (this can be due to the minerals added), please take it after food and these issues should be resolved. To be used under medical supervision.

We use only high quality, bioactive ingredients – meaning they come in a form that the human body can actually use, without needing to convert them. We believe that such ingredients are the future because they are our past and we don’t compromise on quality.

MigraKet® contains a mix of exogenous ketone bodies, vitamins (fat and water-soluble), minerals, trace minerals, ketogenic and other amino acids, anti-oxidants, such as CoQ10, and natural flavors and sweeteners. 

Many of these ingredients have been studied in migraine clinical trials.

Please refer to the product page for a detailed ingredients list.

You do not need a prescription, however MigraKet® is designed to be used under medical supervision.

The main active ingredient of MigraKet® is patented for use in migraine under U.S. Pat. No. 11,166,928

  • MigraKet® is neither a supplement nor a drug – as a medical food, it is a product specifically formulated to meet the nutritional requirements of migraine patients. What does that mean? As opposed to most supplements, we are using only bioactive ingredients – that means that they can be readily used by your body and there is no need to “activate” or break anything down first. We have spent years  on development and many of our ingredients have been clinically tested in migraine. 

As opposed to drugs, MigraKet® contains only ingredients which are considered as generally safe, which allows us to keep the side effects to an absolute minimum.

Unfortunately, MigraKet® is not yet covered by health insurance programs, but we are working on changing that in the future.

We recommend a low-carb or low glycemic index and most importantly whole foods diet, which might be additionally beneficial in managing your migraine. That being said, you do not have to change your diet when taking MigraKet®

Speak to your healthcare professional or physician regarding other products you may be taking. MigraKet has been designed as a “one-stop-shop” and includes many of the vitamins and minerals that are contained in multivitamin preparations. If you are taking other supplements, please take upper daily intake recommendations into account. We recommend not using broad spectrum multi-vitamins and MigraKet® together. It will also help your budget not to do so.

Do not use MigraKet® if you suffer from type 1 Diabetes, severe kidney disease, rare inborn disorders of fat metabolism or any hypersensitivities to the ingredients contained in this product.

We created MigraKet® to be a one-stop-nutrition-shop so be mindful of recommended upper daily limits when taking additional supplements

MigraKet® is a medical food and medical foods, being neither drugs nor supplements, are defined in section 5(b) of the Orphan Drug Act (21 U.S.C. 360ee (b) (3)) and are regulated by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). They fall under the same strict requirements as food production and must consist of ingredients which are generally recognised as safe. Similar to supplements, there is no pre-market approval.

The science behind MigraKet® originated in Switzerland, where we developed our product. It is manufactured locally in the US with globally sourced ingredients for the highest quality and efficacy.

MigraKet® is manufactured in a cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practices) facility which is registered with the FDA and follows the required codes of CRF 110, 111 and 117. Additionally, we are conducting strict quality controls by our partner labs throughout the process. All of the processing (such as warehousing) occurs only in climate-controlled facilities.

None of the ingredients in our product are derived from GMOs, however one of our ingredients (sweetener which is included in very small amounts) was made with precision fermentation and while it contains no GMO proteins, the bacteria that was used to ferment it was genetically modified with Crispr.

MigraKet is designed to support your metabolism and address your nutritional needs which means that you should be taking it every day to assure that it’s working properly - after all, your brain needs fuel all the time. If it is taken as recommended and well-tolerated, we currently have no reason to believe that you have to stop taking it at some point- ingredients are generally regarded as safe. We currently don’t have data to provide a definite answer to what happens after stopping the intake, but we hope that it changes in the future.
