How to stop premature graying of hair or hair that loses color?

Melanocytes produce melanin, the pigment responsible for hair color. Premature graying may be influenced by:

1. Tyrosinase, an enzyme requiring copper, found in foods like mushrooms and oysters.

2. Adrenal stress leading to hydrogen peroxide production; Vitamin E can mitigate this.

3. Deficiencies in B vitamins (PABA, biotin, inositol), influenced by gut flora.

Vitamin E benefits include anti-sterility effects, relief from hot flashes, and skin improvement. Pituitary storage declines post-menopause, reducing vitamin E levels. Menopausal women should consume leafy greens, nuts/seeds, or natural vitamin E sources, avoiding synthetic versions.
