Causes of gray hair

The two main factors that cause gray hair are genetics and aging, says New York City dermatologist Debra Wattenburg, MD. Hair color depends largely on the amount of melanin in the hair follicles, and as you age, less melanin is produced, resulting in gray hair.

Nutritionist Dawn Jackson Blatner (USA) also said that nutritional deficiencies can also cause your hair to turn gray prematurely.

Some other studies also show that a deficiency in certain nutrients can accelerate the graying process, specifically: vitamin B12, vitamin D, calcium, copper, iron, zinc.

Do supplements help restore hair color?

Proper vitamin and mineral supplementation can reverse premature graying in people deficient in certain nutrients, including iron, vitamin D, and vitamin B12.

However, taking more than the recommended daily amount of vitamins and minerals can lead to a variety of hair problems such as hair loss.

A nutritious diet helps prevent premature graying of hair

"A healthy diet is key to healthy, beautiful hair," says dermatologist Debra Wattenburg, MD .

In fact, most people get the vitamins and minerals they need through a healthy diet and don't need to take supplements.
