1 · What it is
Vitistop Tablets – support from within
Vitistop Tablets are a once-daily food supplement made for people with vitiligo. One tablet combines 12 ingredients: vitamins, minerals, the amino acid L-Tyrosine, PABA and EXTRAMEL®, a melon extract that is a natural source of the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD).
They are designed to be taken every day as a long-term habit, on their own or together with Vitistop Gel and UVB light.
2 · Why it matters
Vitiligo and oxidative stress
Research suggests that oxidative stress, an imbalance between free radicals and the skin's own antioxidant defences, plays a role in vitiligo and can harm melanocytes, the cells that make skin pigment. That is why Vitistop focuses on nutrients that help protect cells from oxidative stress, together with copper, which contributes to normal skin pigmentation.

3 · Real results
Helen's story
Helen has had vitiligo since she was 14. She took Vitistop Tablets every day for a year, together with regular exercise and a better diet.
“After just two weeks, I noticed tiny dark dots appearing within the white patches. Now, a year later, my patches are fading.”

4 · The science
What studies say about nutrients and vitiligo
Antioxidants + 311 nm NB-UVB. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, patients took an antioxidant supplement (alpha-lipoic acid, vitamins C and E and fatty acids) for 2 months before and during NB-UVB. 47 % of them reached more than 75 % repigmentation, compared with 18 % on placebo.
Dell'Anna ML, et al. Clinical and Experimental Dermatology, 2007, 32(6): 631–636. PubMed 17953631
Vitamin B12, folic acid and sunlight. In an open study, 100 people with vitiligo took vitamin B12 and folic acid for up to 2 years. Clear repigmentation was seen in 52 of them, most visibly on skin exposed to the sun, and spreading stopped in 64 %. The authors concluded that the vitamins worked better together with sun exposure than either alone. The study had no control group.
Juhlin L, Olsson MJ. Acta Dermato-Venereologica, 1997, 77(6): 460–462. doi:10.2340/000155555577460462
Research on supplements in vitiligo is still limited. The clearest results come when good nutrition is combined with light, which is why we recommend Vitistop Tablets as part of a routine with Vitistop Gel and UVB.
5 · From the founder
Why I take Vitistop Tablets myself
I have vitiligo myself, and I have been taking Vitistop Tablets as a preventive daily habit for five years now. Together with a healthier lifestyle – more sleep, less stress, a better diet – my vitiligo has not spread in all that time. No new patches, no growing patches.
That is exactly why Vitistop Tablets are part of every treatment plan we recommend: one tablet a day is a small step, but over the months and years it is one of the simplest things you can do to support your skin from within. – Peter, founder of VitiligoShop

6 · Complete routine
Support from outside and inside
Vitistop Gel works on the white patches together with UVB light, the tablets add nutritional and antioxidant support from within. The Vitistop Set combines 200 ml of Vitistop Gel with 60 Vitistop Tablets for a complete routine.
7 · How to take
Your daily routine
- Take 1 tablet a day with water, ideally with a meal.
- Take it every day. Supplements work slowly, so regular, long-term use matters most.
- For the best routine, combine the tablets with Vitistop Gel and 311 nm NB-UVB light or controlled time in the sun.
- Suitable from 12 years of age. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.
One pack of 60 tablets lasts 2 months, a pack of 30 tablets lasts 1 month.
8 · When to take it
Support at every stage of vitiligo
When vitiligo is active
Daily antioxidant nutrients during periods when new white patches may be appearing.
Alongside light therapy
Copper contributes to normal skin pigmentation. Use the tablets together with Vitistop Gel and UVB light.
In stable periods
A simple long-term habit that keeps your intake of key nutrients steady, day after day.
Give the tablets at least 3–6 months and judge the result over a longer time. Take a photo of your patches in the same light once a month to see the change.
