Condition
Scleroderma
Scleroderma, also called systemic sclerosis, is a rare autoimmune disease in which the immune system drives hardening and thickening of the skin and connective tissue, sometimes reaching the lungs, heart, kidneys, and gut. Little research on supplements for it has been reviewed here so far, so there are no trial findings to report yet. Vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids draw the most interest, with moderate evidence for vitamin D and limited for omega-3.
