When grey hair causes angst

When confronted with the fact that grey hair causes more depression in men than in almost anything else not directly related to sport, something really has to be done. There are in fact many and varied causes among men.  The most common (and wrongly) believed to be the only grey hair cause is through our gene make up.  If you get grey hair don’t go blame great-uncle Percy (yet). Other factors, such as excessive dieting, B-12 deficiency, thyroid imbalances and yes even smoking are now known to cause grey hair. 

This is all well and good but when you typed with nervous fingers ‘grey hair causes’ into google or yahoo you were asking what exactly is going on in that clump of fur you call the rug on your head. 

When our bodies are working properly and everything is where it is supposed to be, we produce pigments to keep everything the right color.  The principle pigment for hair is called melanin.  Here’s another cool word you can through into conversation: melanocytes.  These are the cells in our hair follicles that make the melanin.  Now if for whatever reason the melanocytes stop producing melanin, the individual hair loses its color.  Melanocytes producing melanin in every single hair on your head.  The human body truly is an amazingly complex piece of work, which is probably why things don’t always work as planned.  For each individual person their own specific case can be different, depending on race, sex, genes, diet, the list can go on and on.  Just by typing those words into a search engine means you are ready to face up to the challenge your body has given you.  Congratulations, and join the grey hair cause today! 

Don’t despair because there is a product on the market that will help you prevent that grey hair from getting out of control. We recommend Melancor as it the only scientifically proved product to reverse the graying process.
