    Yeah I've heard of such deficiencies affecting vitiligo. In fact, I've heard of many recommended diets that involve vitamin supplements of that sort. I started taking b12, folic acid, vitamin C, and ginkgo biloba about a year ago. I can't say whether it caused any improvements because I've also been doing other methods of treatment simultaneously. It's claimed that attacking vitiligo with many treatments (that aren't known to conflict) is very helpful. Overall, however, I have noticed improvements.

    Kirsten, great news. Vitiligo is often related to abnormal zinc or copper levels. Let us know how you get on.

    Simon.

        Unfortunately, I don't but I may get tested myself see if anything gets found. Fit Farms? How was that? It's like a boot camp?
