Key Supplements
- Oral: Vitamin D3 5000-10000 IU (immune modulation, melanocyte support—optimal 60-80), Vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin) 1000-5000mcg (melanocyte function, many vitiligo patients deficient), Folic Acid 5-10mg/day (with B12—synergy, some studies show repigmentation), Copper 2-4mg (cofactor for tyrosinase—enzyme for melanin production, many vitiligo patients deficient), Zinc 30-50mg (immune, skin health—but balance with copper), Vitamin E 400 IU (antioxidant, protects melanocytes), Vitamin C 1000mg 2x/day (antioxidant), Alpha-Lipoic Acid 600mg 2x/day (antioxidant, recycles other antioxidants), L-Phenylalanine 500-1000mg 3x/day (amino acid—precursor to melanin, with UVB more effective), Ginkgo Biloba 120-240mg/day (antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, studies show can halt progression and induce repigmentation), Omega-3 4g/day (anti-inflammatory, immune modulation), Catalase supplement (antioxidant enzyme—low in vitiligo), Superoxide Dismutase (SOD—antioxidant enzyme), Glutathione (liposomal or IV—master antioxidant), Piperine (black pepper extract—increases melanin production, enhances supplement absorption), Low-Dose Naltrexone (LDN) 1.5-4.5mg bedtime (immune modulation—autoimmune), Curcumin 1g 2x/day (anti-inflammatory, antioxidant), Polypodium Leucotomos (fern extract—protects skin from UV, antioxidant), Topical: Psoralen + UVA (PUVA—makes skin sensitive to UV, stimulates repigmentation, but side effects), Tacrolimus (Protopic 0.1%) or Pimecrolimus (calcineurin inhibitors—immune suppression, stimulates repigmentation especially face/neck), Corticosteroid cream (short-term—immune suppression), Vitamin E oil (antioxidant), Catalase/SOD cream (antioxidant enzymes), Pseudocatalase cream (enzyme replacement—some studies show repigmentation), Ginkgo biloba extract (topical), Khellin (herbal—with UVA, less side effects than psoralen), Piperine + UVA
