Had vitiligo for 51/2 years just getting worst I only used Fluocinonide 30 grams but has not worked I hear everyone saying they use vitamins and right now cvs has by one get one free and I want to start using as well but I don't know which ones to buy can you help? Another thing I need to know is what's the benefits of the vitamins... Thanks

By the way, I'd rather folate than folic acid. Folate refers to the various tetrahydrofolate derivatives naturally found in food and folic acid refers to the oxidized synthetic compound used in food fortification. Both can be found as supplement.
Other people I have talked to that have vitiligo take the following:
folic acid 800 mcg
b12 sublingual 1,000 mcg
is what I take....and I also take Vitamin E, and Vitamin D as directed on the bottle, oh and fish oil
Talk to your doctor or you can go to a health food store and they have books that suggest supplements for vitiligo...I keep meaning to go and check my health food store...I will let you know what I find out once I check with them...
i've done a lot or research about vitiligo supplement and the most recommended is vit.B 12 and folic acid,and vit.B-complex is also a good supplement for vitiligo

Dear Linette,
Vitamins can help vitiligo. I wrote a list of which vitamins are needed and the amounts at http://www.recouleur.com/vitiligo-learning-center/scientific-studie...
Yours truly,
