Relationship Between Trace Elements and Premature Hair Graying

The study found that reduced serum levels of iron, copper, and calcium were associated with premature hair graying (PHG) and correlated with its severity. This suggested that PHG might indicate a deficiency in essential nutrients and minerals. The researchers proposed that supplementation with these trace elements could potentially reverse or prevent the progression of hair graying. However, they emphasized the need for further studies to understand the underlying mechanisms of this relationship.
