If you want to know how to prevent and eliminate the premature appearance of gray hair, in this video, I will explain everything you need to know. Hair is a visible indicator of the passage of time and can be a reflection of the adventures and stories you've lived through. Your hair may once have been thick and vibrant in shades of brown, black, red, or gold, but over the years, you may have noticed thinning in certain areas of your head or your hair has changed to a darker shade, gray, or white. Hair follicles play an important role in the appearance and color of your hair. These follicles are filled with pigment cells called melanins that give your hair its color. Over time, hair follicles can lose melanin, resulting in the appearance of white hair, also known as gray hair. But what causes the appearance of gray hair at an early age? And it is that gray hair can be really surprising in those people with a darker hair tone, and although it is

often associated with advanced age, gray hair can appear at any age, even during adolescence or youth. Although if you are young and notice the appearance of one or two gray hairs, you should not worry because this can be a natural sign of the evolution of your hair and does not necessarily mean that all your hair is going to turn white. And in order to prevent the premature appearance of gray hair, we must know what is the cause of these and then we will see the most common causes of the premature appearance of gray hair. The first factor that we are going to see is genetics, and that is that if the first gray hairs appear earlier than expected, it is possible that your parents and grandparents suffered from gray hair during their youth. If this is your case, since we cannot alter our genetics, what you can do if you are not happy with the appearance of your hair is to cover the gray with a dye. And let's see the second factor and the most important of all, stress. The reality

is that we all deal with stress from time to time. The main consequences of chronic stress can include sleep problems, anxiety, changes in appetite, and high blood pressure, and of course, stress can also affect your hair. A study published in 2013 found a connection between stress and the depletion of stem cells in the hair follicles of mice, so if you've noticed an increase in the appearance of white or gray hairs, this could be due to stress, and this theory could help explain why some world leaders seem to age or gray faster while in office. In third place, we have autoimmune diseases, and that is that an autoimmune disease can also cause the premature appearance of gray hair. When our immune system turns against our body and starts attacking its own cells, this can lead to premature graying. This is especially common in conditions like alopecia and vitiligo, where the immune system can directly attack the body's hair, causing a loss of pigment and the appearance of gray hair. In fourth place, we have thyroid disorders. The thyroid is a small

butterfly-shaped gland located at the base of your neck that controls many of the most important bodily functions like metabolism, and perhaps what you didn't know about the thyroid is that it can also influence the color of your hair. When the thyroid becomes overactive or underactive, this can cause a decrease in melanin production, leading to premature graying. Fifth, we have vitamin B12 deficiency, and that is if you have noticed the appearance of gray hair at an early age, this could be due to a vitamin B12 deficiency. This vitamin is essential for the well-being of your body, providing you with energy and contributing to the healthy growth and color of your hair. A lack of vitamin B12 may be linked to pernicious anemia, a condition in which your body is unable to absorb enough of this vitamin. Your body needs vitamin B12 for healthy red blood cells, which are responsible for carrying oxygen to your cells, including the cells ciliates that are the ones that give color to your hair. If you are deficient in this vitamin, this

can weaken hair cells, affecting melanin production and causing premature graying, so make sure you get enough vitamin B12. The easiest way to do this is to take a vitamin B12 pill each day. I will leave you a link in the description of this video with the vitamin B12 supplement that I use myself. Sixthly, we have a very unhealthy habit, smoking. And there is also a strong link between smoking and the premature appearance of gray hair. A study published in 2013 that analyzed 107 patients found a significant connection between the appearance of gray hair before the age of 30 and smoking. And it is no secret that smoking puts your health at risk with a wide variety of serious diseases related to the heart and lungs. However, the long-term effects of tobacco could go beyond these diseases, including hair. Smoking can narrow arteries and decrease blood flow to hair follicles, which can lead to hair loss. Additionally, the toxins in cigarettes can damage important areas of your

body including hair follicles, which can lead to premature graying. And let's move on to the million-dollar question: can gray hair be prevented or eliminated? The ability to reverse or prevent gray hair depends on the cause of it. As I have explained before, if the cause is genetic, there is nothing to do but cover the gray with a dye. But it is possible that the premature appearance of gray hair is due, for example, to an underlying health problem, so if this is your case, obviously, the first thing you have to do is consult a doctor. If the reason for the appearance of gray hair is a health problem, you could recover the pigmentation of your hair. According to a study published in 2007, if a thyroid problem is the cause of the premature appearance of gray hair, hormone therapy could restore the color to your hair. Also, as I explained before, vitamin B12 supplementation could revitalize your hair follicles and restore shine and color to your hair. On the other hand,

If stress or tobacco are the cause of the premature appearance of gray hair in your case, there is no guarantee that by eliminating these problems you will be able to recover the color of your hair. But, still, remember that chronic and acute stress is what is most related to the premature appearance of gray hair in the scientific literature, so one of the best things you can do to eliminate and prevent the premature appearance of gray hair is to lower your stress levels.

Let's now see what are the treatments that have been scientifically proven to be able to eliminate or prevent the appearance of gray hair. In the first place, we have the Pueraria Lobata, also known as APHG-1001. And before seeing the positive effects of this compound, we have to point out that a 2003 study showed that

Pueraria Lobata was not a good substitute for hormone therapy in postmenopausal women. On the other hand, a randomized placebo-controlled trial published in 2013 analyzed the efficacy and safety of Pueraria Lobata for the prevention of gray hair in 44 women over a 24-week period. This clinical trial demonstrated that APHG-1001 containing an extract of Pueraria Lobata is effective in preventing the appearance of gray hair without significant side effects; thus, it could be considered a viable treatment option for the prevention of gray hair. Although, obviously, we need more rigorous studies that analyze a population large enough to confirm these results. And secondly, we have a compound known as RT1640, which is made up of minoxidil and cyclosporine. And specifically, we have a study published in 2021 that analyzed the efficacy of this compound to eliminate or reverse gray hair in mice. And according to the results of this study, the combination of RT175 and RT1640 may form a potential therapy.

to combat the loss of pigmentation in the hair. This study demonstrated that RT1640 promotes the regeneration of the hair pigmentation system during and after treatment in mice. Furthermore, RT1640 is effective in accelerating hair growth and expansion of melanocyte stem cells. And there are a few other studies, but what you have to know is that we obviously need more rigorous human studies that look at a large enough population to confirm both the efficacy and safety of Pueraria Lobata and RT1640 in preventing the appearance of gray hair.
