Vitiligo is a skin disorder in which there is skin pigmentation taking place progressively making pigmentation very prominent and also widening the area. This health conditions will require medical treatment. But along with that if one also uses vitamin supplements, then this will promote improvement.
In one of the studies it was seen that people suffering from vitiligo are deficient in vitamin C, B12 and folic acid. Taking this study into consideration, researchers suggest that vitamin supplements that are rich in Vitamin C, B12, and folic acid along with other vitamins will bring in improvement in the skin condition. This is because almost all the vitamins play a lead role in maintaining skin's health. Vitamin C plays a vital role in collagen formation so as to keep skin and bones healthy. Vitamin b12 fights with anemic condition which is prominent in vitiligo.
Folic acid plays a vital role in cellular health of the body. But apart from these vitamins, vitamin A, E, copper, zinc are also vital in vitiligo treatment as they make immune system stronger. This is because vitamin A and E are antioxidant vitamins and zinc and copper are vital for metabolism of certain vitamins. Studies indicate that khella extracts, Ginkgo biloba, Picrorhiza are useful herbs in naturally treating this condition of vitiligo. However, just talk to your doctor before starting any vitamin or herbal supplement. |
