Ninety percent of people suffer headaches, most of which will disappear with aspirin. But if the headache interferes with the daily tasks, it is probably a migraine. Migraines are painful, sometimes debilitating headaches that occur due to changes in nerve cell activity in the brain. These changes trigger the throbbing pain and accompanying symptoms such as nausea, and sensitivity to light and noise.

Migraine headaches, which affect an estimated 28 million Americans, have long been notoriously difficult to treat. Alternative therapies, such as acupuncture or the herb feverfew, have been used to help reduce headache pain or the frequency of migraines.

PharmaFew™ is a stabilized extract from feverfew standardized to 4% parthenolide. Feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) is a perennial flowering plant cultivated in Israel, Europe and the Americas. Feverfew has been used for centuries to help support headaches.

The feverfew leaf contains up to 0.9% parthenolide and typically loses 15% of its stability per year. Over time, scientists found a way to increase the parthenolide content and to increase its stability. PharmaFew™ provides a 4% parthenolide extract with 3 years stability-guaranteed.
