What is it?
Bronze capsules contain a combination of carotenoids and are intended for anyone who wants to take the "glare" off pale skin safely, with or without sun exposure. As the name suggests, it has a gentle bronzing effect on the skin. It is also a useful supplementary source of beta-carotene, other carotenoids, Lutein and vitamin E.
Why is it in Vitiligo Store?
For those individuals who have vitiligo, and who happen to have a naturally fair skin, taking Bronze on a regular basis can lessen the contrast between the white patches and surrounding skin. In addition to this purely cosmetic benefit, the beta carotene content may prove helpful in stimulating melanin production. Another possible benefit is that carotenoids are also powerful antioxidants and, as such, are likely to help in reducing the abnormally high levels of free radicals found in vitiligo skin.
How does it work?
Carotenoids are the red/orange/yellow pigments found in many fruits and vegetables (e.g. carrots) and are also present in every layer of human skin, determining how much yellow a person's skin tone has. Both science and anecdotal evidence agree that consuming quantities of carotenoids "stains" human skin a bronze colour. (If you simply eat a huge number of carrots you will probably turn more orange than this.) In addition to this effect, the carotenes we eat are converted into vitamin A which, in turn, stimulates the production of melanin.

Tips from The Vit Pro
- Whilst I attribute my repigmentation mainly to Boost and Five a Day+V, I also took Bronze capsules (and still do) and found them helpful in lessening the contrast between my white patches and the normal skin. I did not consider that they might have played a part in my actual recovery until much later, after reading extensively on the subject. I now believe that they probably did contribute to creating the right conditions for my body to start producing pigment again.
- Take 4-6 capsules daily for 2 weeks, after which you can reduce to a maintenance dose of 2-3 capsules daily.
