play00:03

here in the front which I found quite

play00:05

annoying I don't really mind the Grays

play00:07

over here on the sides as much but this

play00:09

gray area in the front really stood out

play00:11

with these supplements some of my

play00:13

natural brown color has come back and

play00:15

the Grays have become a lot less

play00:17

noticeable I also used to dye my hair

play00:19

from time to time but I didn't like that

play00:22

sometimes it came out a bit too dark and

play00:23

then it just looked obviously dyed I'm

play00:27

not sure what's more vain dyeing your

play00:29

hair to cover up Grays or not dying your

play00:33

hair because you don't want to look like

play00:34

someone who dyes their hair what do you

play00:37

think anyway the number one thing when

play00:39

it comes to reversing gray hair seems to

play00:42

be removing stress from your life but

play00:45

unfortunately that isn't a real option

play00:47

for most people and to be honest having

play00:49

gray hair really stresses me out so I've

play00:53

tried many things I tried those shampoos

play00:55

that claim to reduce Graves if you use

play00:57

them every day and they did absolutely

play01:00

nothing and the ingredients are super

play01:01

harsh but the following supplements are

play01:04

very promising and I take them all so if

play01:06

you have prematurely graying hair give

play01:09

these a

play01:11

try let's start with the simplest one

play01:14

the first one is a mineral that you

play01:16

might be deficient in and it is copper

play01:18

with prematurely graying hair we can

play01:20

first increase copper to build the

play01:22

enzyme to keep the pigment in the hair

play01:25

copper is a critical mineral that your

play01:27

body uses to produce melanin since

play01:29

copper is is a co-actor for certain

play01:31

enzymes used in the melanin your hair

play01:34

color production and in a deficient

play01:36

state it leads to graying hair here's

play01:38

why copper is so critical for optimal

play01:40

hair Health but also for optimal hair

play01:42

color copper is an essential Trace

play01:44

mineral that is required for

play01:46

synthesizing specialized cells in your

play01:48

hair follicle copper is also necessary

play01:51

for enhancing your iron uptake in your

play01:54

stores of iron so if you have hair loss

play01:57

and graying copper deficiency definitely

play02:00

could be a factor here a copper

play02:02

deficiency creates a situation where

play02:03

oxidative stress overwhelms your hair

play02:06

follicle and negatively impacts these

play02:08

cells which leads to premature graying

play02:11

before taking a supplement though you

play02:12

should test your copper levels the

play02:14

optimal copper level for ideal enhanced

play02:17

hair color and hair tone or melanin

play02:19

enhancement is between 100 and 130 on

play02:23

your copper scale so how do we enhance

play02:25

your copper if you are taking a

play02:27

multivitamin or a mineral supplement

play02:30

those don't contain enough copper

play02:31

unfortunately you could take a copper

play02:33

supplement but there are some foods you

play02:36

can incorporate first and see if that

play02:38

makes a difference several foods that

play02:39

contain optimal levels of copper are

play02:41

shellfish especially oysters organ Meats

play02:45

nuts seeds mushrooms dark leafy

play02:48

vegetables and spirulina which is great

play02:50

for vegans I actually consume another

play02:53

super healthy food that has a lot of

play02:55

copper in it and that is black strap

play02:57

molasses unlike refined sugar black

play03:00

strap molasses contain essential

play03:01

vitamins and minerals it has a lot of

play03:04

powerful health benefits black strap

play03:06

molasses is the dark brown thick liquid

play03:08

that remains after the extraction of

play03:11

sugar from raw sugar cane it is set to

play03:13

help prevent cancer balance blood sugar

sweetness it's extremely mineral rich

play03:27

and has a lot of copper in it you can

play03:29

also bake with it or drizzle it on

play03:31

yogurt granola whatever but if you

play03:34

prefer taking a supplement after you

play03:35

found out that your copper levels are

play03:37

insufficient a daily dosage of 1 and 1/2

play03:40

to 2 and 1 12 milligram is good to

play03:42

balance out your copper number two our

play03:45

second supplement today is NAC or n

play03:48

acetal cysteine have you ever seen a

play03:50

person who was under a lot of stress

play03:52

whose hair turned gray or white in a

play03:54

matter of days this really happens to

play03:55

some people and it's caused by hydrogen

play03:58

peroxide not a applied from the outside

play04:01

but produced from within the hydrogen

play04:03

peroxide interferes with melanin the

play04:06

pigment that colors our hair and skin to

play04:08

prevent hydrogen peroxide from damaging

play04:11

cells and tissues it must be quickly

play04:13

converted into other less dangerous

play04:15

substances this conversion is done by

play04:18

the enzyme catalase and glutathione the

play04:20

body's Supreme detox compound now NAC

play04:24

may have these specific benefits for our

play04:26

hair health and pigment glutathione

play04:28

boost NAC supplementation directly feeds

glutathione production crucial for

play04:34

neutralizing hydrogen peroxide in hair

play04:37

follicles which if left unchecked leads

play04:39

to hair graying this process is vital

play04:42

for maintaining natural hair color and

play04:45

preventing gray hair antioxidant

play04:47

properties nac's role as an antioxidant

play04:50

is pivotal in hair retention and

play04:52

reducing graying its antioxidant

play04:55

capabilities also reduce DHT and

play04:57

reactive oxygen species keep factors in

play05:00

managing hair loss which makes NAC a

play05:03

great alternative to finasteride or

play05:05

propa which a lot of men take to combat

play05:08

hair loss as far as dosage is concerned

play05:12

600 to 800 milligrams per day seems to

play05:14

be a good dose so that's what I take

play05:17

some supplements go as high as 12200 or

play05:19

1,800 milligrams but for what we're

play05:21

trying to do that doesn't seem to be

play05:23

necessary and before we get to the last

play05:25

supplement I want to tell you about

play05:26
