Hmm migraines eh? That's very interesting. I was reading a piece on how ascorbic acid can inhibit nitrosamine conversion from nitrate interacting with heme iron and stomach acid in the stomach. In a lipid free environment it does quite well at inhibition BUT when lipids are present the ascorbic acid INCREASES Nitroso conversion 1000 fold!
Now, I'm far too uneducated to know if Nitroso could make migraines happen but it might be interesting to research lol. I've read that nitric oxide can lessen migraines (pain anyway) so i suppose it stands to reason that a rise in oxidants like Nitroso could have the opposite effect.
Agree hard to say but for me it just feels like serotonin or something gets affected. Feels like a nerv swelling behind the eye. Basically migraine feels like someone plunging a pencile into your eye slowly over and over. At least for me some people experience pain around the eye area on one side of the head. Anyway ascorbic acid has some toxic effect on me 100% sure while i eat ***t loads of fruits and always get like 500% of RDI of vitamin c i never gave problems then. And its not fillers in the supps because i never get ant symptoms from other supplements i take.
