Antioxidant Supplementation
for Vitiligo
Antioxidant supplements including vitamin C, vitamin E, alpha-lipoic acid and zinc to reduce oxidative stress implicated in melanocyte destruction. Often used alongside phototherapy or other treatments.
How it works
Oxidative stress - an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidant defences - is implicated in the destruction of melanocytes in vitiligo. Antioxidant supplementation may protect remaining melanocytes and support the conditions needed for repigmentation.
What to watch for
Evidence is mostly from small studies and combination treatments making it difficult to isolate the effect of antioxidants alone. Best considered as a supportive adjunct to primary treatment rather than standalone therapy.
