  1. 01
    78% match

    B12 deficiency is a recognized reversible cause of premature graying, and correcting low levels can restore pigment in affected hair.

    SuggestedMethylcobalamin, 1,000 mcg daily or as directed after testing
  2. 02
    CopperLimited
    70% match

    Copper is an essential cofactor for tyrosinase, the enzyme that produces melanin, so adequate copper status supports hair pigmentation.

    SuggestedCopper bisglycinate or gluconate, 1 to 2 mg daily
  3. 03
    Vitamin D3Limited
    62% match

    Low vitamin D status is associated with premature graying in observational studies, possibly via effects on the hair follicle melanocyte environment.

    SuggestedVitamin D3, 1,000 to 2,000 IU daily, dosed to a tested blood level
  4. 04
    IronLimited
    58% match

    Low ferritin and iron status has been reported alongside premature graying and can impair follicle function, so repletion may help when iron is low.

    SuggestedIron Bisglycinate, 25 mg every other day (gentler on the gut)
  5. 05
    SeleniumLimited
    45% match

    Selenium supports the antioxidant enzymes that protect follicle melanocytes from the oxidative stress thought to contribute to graying.

    SuggestedSelenium (selenomethionine), 100 mcg daily
  6. 06
    Vitamin B5Limited
    40% match

    Pantothenic acid is traditionally linked to hair pigment in animal models, the basis for its inclusion in anti-graying folklore.

    SuggestedCalcium pantothenate, 100 to 250 mg daily
