A member asked:

What food/supplement can increase production of melanin the pigment. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Don't know any: But most people who have some melanocytes (the cells that make melanin) can stimulate them to produce more with exposure to the sun. Fair skinned people must be careful not to burn. The sun can promote health or illness depending on your skin & the amount if sun.
