    TLDR Good nutrition may help prevent premature hair graying.
    The review article examines the link between nutrition and premature hair graying (PHG), identifying deficiencies in nutrients like copper, iron, and vitamin B12 as potential contributors. Despite evidence suggesting a relationship, the conclusions are not definitive due to study limitations. The review stresses the importance of adequate nutrition, including vitamins, minerals, proteins, and antioxidants, for maintaining hair pigmentation and structure. It calls for more comprehensive research, particularly large-scale, double-blind placebo-controlled trials, to better understand the role of nutrition in preventing and treating PHG.
