for Vitiligo
Ginkgo biloba extract for vitiligo, particularly for slowing the spread of new patches and supporting repigmentation. The most studied natural supplement specifically for vitiligo with RCT evidence.
How it works
Ginkgo biloba has antioxidant and immunomodulatory properties. Oxidative stress is implicated in melanocyte destruction in vitiligo. Ginkgo may protect melanocytes from free radical damage and modulate the autoimmune response.
What to watch for
May interact with blood thinning medications including warfarin and aspirin - consult GP before use. Not recommended before surgery. Evidence is from small RCTs only. Standardised extract (EGb761) used in studies - quality of commercial products varies.
