Does Copper Tableware have a Therapeutic Effect on Vitiligo?

Vitiligo patients should pay attention to the intake of trace elements, of which copper is indispensable for human health, it has an important impact on the development and function of blood, central nervous and immune systems, hair, skin, and bone tissues, and internal organs such as brain, liver, and heart. Adults should take a little amount of copper element every day. Middle-aged and elderly people are prone to copper deficiency due to the decline in digestive and absorption functions of the gastrointestinal tract, low utilization of copper in the food they consume, and the loss of teeth and incomplete chewing of food in old age, which also affects the absorption of copper. We know that trace elements are indispensable for the body, otherwise, they will cause harm to the body over time.

The harm brought by copper deficiency is very serious, vitiligo patients should stay away from such harm. Copper deficiency can easily cause bone changes (osteoporosis, prone to fractures), coronary heart disease, vitiligo, less white head, Alzheimer's disease, female infertility, anemia, and many other diseases. The use of copper tools in life can also be effective in the central nervous system caused by stroke, vitiligo, dysentery, Alzheimer's disease, and other good prevention and auxiliary treatment. Vitiligo patients should avoid these complications.

Furthermore, copper has a certain role in anti-aging, protecting skin and hair, preventing influenza and cancer, etc. It also has a good preventive and adjuvant therapeutic effect on central nervous-induced stroke, vitiligo, dysentery, and Alzheimer's disease. Vitiligo patients need to supplement copper ions.

Copper ion is an important cofactor of tyrosinase and is closely related to tyrosinase activity. When tyrosinase activity decreases, melanin synthesis is reduced, resulting in the appearance of skin white spots. In this way, vitiligo patients in daily life have more contact with some copperware, such as copper spoons, copper pots, copper bowls, copper chopsticks, and other tableware, which may have a certain auxiliary therapeutic effect in theory. However, a large number of clinical observations prove that the application of copper tableware has no exact efficacy in the treatment of vitiligo. For this reason, vitiligo patients with copper tableware can cooperate with the use of, although no great advisable, but also does no great harm. But to make vitiligo patients really recover, the only way is to receive regular, scientific, and systematic treatment, which is the best choice.
