Description
Melanin is the natural pigment responsible for the color of our skin, hair, and eyes. But did you know your diet can influence melanin production?
While melanin itself isn't directly consumed through food, certain nutrients can boost its synthesis. Foods that have melanin or contribute to its production are rich in antioxidants, vitamin A, copper, and especially tyrosine—an amino acid essential for melanin formation.
Dark-colored fruits and vegetables like blackberries, blueberries, and eggplant are rich in melanin-boosting compounds. Also, foods rich in copper like nuts and seeds help enzymes that regulate melanin thrive in your system.
