8. Ways to Increase Melanin
Although there is no conclusive evidence to support the use of the following nutrients to help increase melanin in the body, there is some research that has suggested that antioxidants, vitamin A, vitamin E, and vitamin C may potentially increase melanin levels.
Try consuming foods such as dark berries, dark leafy greens, dark chocolate, orange vegetables (squash, carrots, sweet potatoes), meat, fish, grains, nuts, seeds, or taking supplements that are easily available in stores. Some studies have also suggested the potential of herbs and teas to help protect the skin from ultraviolet rays. These products include turmeric and green tea, which have high amounts of polyphenols and flavonoids.
