I've been using a combination of 1000mg calcium citrate/500mg magnesium (6 caps a day give this total amount). Have found it necessary to reduce to 5 caps/day because getting bit too loose.
Have not found medical literature specific to its use with cluster but I understand that this treatment has been used in Europe for migraine with some success.
At the same time, I've been using vitamin B-2, 400mg/day because of some anecdotal reports that it may prevent CH.
This isn't good "science" to run two prevention trials at the same time--mag and B-2--but it's nice to report that I haven't had a cluster in 20-months!
