Before I get the 'at least you have hair to turn grey' keep in mind I'm going bald as well and in my 20s. I only have it in me to battle one of these. Is there anything out there to help those going grey too (and rapidly)?
Thanks

Somatotropin is known to have an effect but it's expensive. -
Don't have any experience with this myself, but I know alot of people swear by "he shou wu" also known as Fo Ti. He Shou Wu can help boost levels of an antioxidant called Superoxide Dimutase that may neutralize hydrogen peroxide free radicals that are bleaching your hair. In TCM it is also thought to cleanse the liver and blood which may improve nutrient delivery to hair follicles.Comment

Enzymes could help as well, a recent study shows that a specific enzyme catalase diminishes with age.
"The body also produces the enzyme catalase, which breaks down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. Or at least it does for a while. As we age, catalase production tails off, leaving nothing to transform the hydrogen peroxide into chemicals the body can release.
So, as hydrogen peroxide builds up, we go gray, concluded researchers at the University of Bradford in the United Kingdom, who last week published the results of a study in the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology's online journal.

Reversing the process
"This new insight could open new strategies for intervention and reversal of the hair graying process," wrote the study's lead author John Wood, who died last month."
It can be purchased as a supplement for next to nothing.Comment
