Up until now it's not been imaginable to wholly prevent grey hair from happening.

But that could each beryllium astir to alteration aft the findings of a caller study.

Recent probe from Nagoya University successful Japan led by Masashi Kato and Takumi Kagawa suggests an antioxidant mightiness suppress the process.

And the quality was shocking.

The mice that received luteolin retained their achromatic fur portion others turned grey.

This happened careless of whether luteolin was fixed externally oregon internally.

"This targeted enactment makes luteolin a peculiarly intriguing campaigner for addressing age-related hairsbreadth greying."

The similarities betwixt the hairsbreadth greying processes successful the exemplary mice and humans connection encouraging prospects for creating quality applications, said the researchers.
