Graying of Hair Prevention and Treatment

Hair is mostly made up of proteins. In protein there is a substance called melanin, it is responsible for the color of hair.

There are more melanin in dark than lightly colored hair. As a person age the amount of melanin present in hair diminishes. When there is no melanin, the hair becomes white.

Adequate nutrients can slow the effect of the graying of hair and baldness. These nutrient can be absorbed directly by the hair, or through taking supplements.

It is recommended that you take multivitamin like bee pollen in addition to taking multiminerals and proteins.
