Dr. Ahmed, a UK-based GP, suggests that premature greying of hair could be linked to copper deficiency, which affects melanin production responsible for hair pigment. He advises checking copper absorption levels, especially if experiencing lethargy or anemia, before taking supplements. Copper is essential for energy metabolism and iron absorption, and can be found in foods like nuts and shellfish. Dr. Ahmed recommends trying natural supplements like cacao powder for those with low copper levels, but warns against self-supplementing without medical advice.

Research suggests that deficiencies in vitamin D, vitamin B12, and copper can contribute to premature hair whitening, but supplementation may help restore hair color. Stress is also linked to the greying process, as high stress levels can deplete pigment-replenishing cells in the scalp. Maintaining a healthy haircare routine and avoiding stress are recommended to delay premature greying.
