A nutritious, well-balanced, healthy diet is strongly recommended in cases of vitiligo. It is even more important than supplements.

Recently a group of compounds known as phytochemicals have been the focus of research. They have been proven to protect against cell damage and disease. The following is a list of recognized foods with powerful natural chemicals that will boost your skin capacity to recover and stay healthy. No supplement can substitute a rich diet.
