''Vitamin E and CoQ10
It has been observed that individuals with vitiligo have an imbalance in the anti-oxidant systems of skin. This supports the theory that oxidative damage (via the sun) may play a role in the pathogenesis of melanocyte destruction and the subsequent development of vitiligo. Free radicals are elevated in the melanocytes of individuals with vitiligo. Anti-oxidants that are specific to cell membranes are also found to be extremely low. [11]
One study measured the oxidative stress in the epidermis of individuals with vitiligo and found it to be increased. Also measured and found to be deficient were the anti-oxidants that are usually present to protect the cell membrane from damage, namely, Vitamin E and CoQ10. [12] This supports the theory that the supplementation of anti-oxidants aids in protecting skin cells from the damage caused by free radicals.""
