Podcast
Can a handful of supplements really make a difference in managing vitiligo? In this episode, we sift through the science and separate fact from fantasy when it comes to vitamins and herbal remedies commonly linked to vitiligo care.
From the antioxidant power of Vitamin C to the immune-modulating promise of high-dose Vitamin D, Ginkgo Biloba, and Polypodium leucotomos, we explore what the research actually says—and what it doesn’t. With expert-backed insights from the Vitiligo Research Foundation and NIH, we also dive into potential risks, drug interactions, and why a “natural” label doesn’t always mean safe or effective.
Whether you’re curious about building a smart supplement routine or just want to avoid wasting money (or worse, doing harm), this episode will help you make more informed choices.
This episode is supported in part by Incyte, makers of Opzelura®—the only FDA-approved treatment for vitiligo to date.
