Vitiligo is a skin disorder stemming from a lack of normal melanin pigment. Vitiligo occurs when pigment-producing melanocyte cells are destroyed or fail to function properly. Distinctly bordered milky-white patches can develop anywhere on the body, and commonly occur on the face, neck, hands, groin and legs. Both sides of the body are frequently affected.

No one knows the precise cause of vitiligo. No one knows why the pigmented cells (called melanocytes) disappear. Researchers believe malfunctions in the nervous system or the immune system may injure or destroy the melanocytes. Since vitiligo can be inherited, there is also a genetic element to the disease.

According to the National Vitiligo Foundation, many people report pigment loss shortly after trauma or injury to the skin or an emotionally stressful event. Early graying of the hair is sometimes associated with vitiligo. It is impossible to predict the course of vitiligo; each case is unique. The condition often begins with a rapid loss of pigment, which may be followed by a lengthy period when the skin color does not change. Later, the pigment loss may resume. Cycles of pigment loss, followed by periods of stability may repeat indefinitely. It is rare for those with vitiligo to regain skin color spontaneously.

Melaganina Plus (Melaganina + Calcium chloride) is an extract from human placenta with alcohol. This pharmaceutical product has the property of stimulating the reproduction of malanocitos, and of accelerating the production process of melanina.
As such it is an excellent medicine for the treatment of vitiligo in the border areas of the spots as well as in its core.

Melaganina plus is a product that is capable of reverting the most severe cases of Vitiligo because it grows in strength with time as it stimulates the pigmentation of the skin. By adding calcium to the melagenina the cellular reproduction and melanic synthesis are activated. The innocuousness (it produces no side effects) of the treatment with MELAGENINA PLUS allows it to be used with children as well as adults, also with elder people, pregnant women and during menstruation.

It is compatible with any kind of food or drink, as well as with any kind of medicine, except for psoralenes, corticoids and citostatics due to antagonism. Melaginana Plus has no secondary inconveniences, neither local nor systemic.

Remark: the medicine Melagenina Plus is not sold without prescription, and is only prescribed after the evaluation at the Centre of Histotherapy.
