Vitamin D Megadoses for Vitiligo: Hope, Hype, or Hospital Trip? (Ep. 72)
Vitamin D matters in vitiligo. Megadoses? That’s where things get interesting — and risky.
In this episode, we unpack the hype around high-dose vitamin D, the Coimbra Protocol, and the small Brazilian study that made patients pay attention.
We cover the possible immune benefits, the real safety concerns — hypercalcemia, kidney stones, strict monitoring — and why correcting a deficiency is not the same as taking massive doses.
Promising biology. Preliminary evidence. Poor safety. No miracle-cure fireworks.
