vitamin c via collagen helps and with hard hair etc

About a month after starting 5-HTP, I added more vitamin B-6 to my stack, to ensure that the 5-HTP would always have enough B-6 available to complete the chemical conversion to serotonin.
 

 

Strikes me that the Serotonin is converted to Melatonin and that is having the effect on hair.

I saw a reversion from greying to color when I consumed LARGE amounts of C60- OLIVE OIL.

Large = 200+ml at one sitting and/or 50ml/day for a week or longer.

After I stopped taking C60 regularly the hair became grey again.

Recently, I have been fasting for 36, 48, and even 60 hours. I have noticed some grey whiskers in my beard and moustache have reverted to color.

I believe it is the MTOR inhibition and autophagy induction by olive oil (maybe c60 has some role) and fasting that causes stem cell regeneration and release.

Really need before and after pictures.

 

I have yet to see anyone reverse grey hair, only people who claim to have reversed grey hair.

Well, I don't want it to re-grey, but some places literally waffle back and forth. I'll do what I can.

there was a study on rats using a herb called polygonum multiflorum that did reverse grey hair

My experience is that a vellus hair can turn terminal, new hairs can be pigmented, but it is rare to turn a white hair pigmented.

Anyone has experience with the peptide TB500? 

 

I used it some time ago to accelerate healing of an injury and a lot of people noticed that my hair got darker (on the head and the beard). I don't really have grey hair so can't tell for sure it would reverse grey hair as well, but found that quite interesting, especially since that happened quite quickly (2-3 weeks) and was very noticeable.

Here's an interesting blog post:

Can you Reverse Grey Hair? New Updates.

 

Update: September 6, 2023

A new South Korean company named YJ Lab is raising funds to start a large-scale clinical trial for its unique melanin restoration technology. The company recently developed a regenerative material that restores the pigment of grey hair. It re-activates damaged melanocytes and removes active oxygen in order to restore hair color. It has already conducted successful internal trials.

Interestingly, YJ Lab is developing a specially made comb equipped with its refillable solution. Consumers can then conveniently apply this melanocyte regeneration material into the scalp.

Per a new study from Takahiro Suzuki et al, topically applied Rapamycin could reverse grey hair via mTORC1 inhibition. Rapamycin elevates the production of melanin and pigmentation. I covered rapamycin in my post on autophagy.

 

Also, there's this new study:

Dedifferentiation maintains melanocyte stem cells in a dynamic niche

Kevin Mann talks about this study (He's annoying, but it's pretty good info.)

Here are some other articles on the same study.

People should check their genetics first.  I think there’s a mut in IRF4 that does it.
