How Catalase, Fo-Ti Root, Copper & PABA Help Prevent Premature Grey Hair

If you're searching for natural ways to prevent gray hair, science is finally catching up to what traditional medicine has long claimed: certain nutrients and plant compounds may help preserve your natural hair pigment. At the heart of antigrey™ is a powerful blend of ingredients Catalase, Fo-Ti Root, Copper, and PABA each targeting key causes of hair greying from within.

Whether you're looking to reverse early grey strands or support long-term hair health, here’s how these ingredients work.

(Press play on this quick podcast to hear our experts break down the science behind catalase, Fo-Ti, copper, and PABA before you dive into the details.)

1. Catalase: The Key to Breaking Down Hydrogen Peroxide in Hair Follicles

One of the root causes of premature greying is the buildup of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) in hair follicles. This compound bleaches melanin the pigment responsible for hair color from the inside out.

Catalase is the enzyme that breaks H₂O₂ into harmless water and oxygen. In aging or greying hair, H₂O₂ levels become excessive, impairing the enzyme tyrosinase, which is vital for melanin production. Studies on mice and human cells suggest that increasing catalase activity can help protect pigment-producing cells (melanocytes) and potentially restore hair color.

⚠️ Note: Most studies are preclinical, and oral catalase supplements still lack large-scale human trials, but the early data is encouraging.

2. Fo-Ti Root: A Natural Grey Hair Remedy from Traditional Chinese Medicine

Also known as He Shou Wu or Polygonum multiflorum, Fo-Ti root has been used for centuries as a natural remedy for grey hair. Rich in antioxidants and bioactive compounds, Fo-Ti supports melanocyte function and enhances melanin synthesis.

In animal models exposed to oxidative stress, Fo-Ti extracts helped restore pigment by up-regulating genes like MITF and tyrosinase, both crucial for hair color. Lab studies on human melanocytes also show increased melanin production with Fo-Ti treatment.

However, raw and processed Fo-Ti differ significantly in potency. High-quality supplements should use standardized extracts to ensure consistent results.

3. Copper: The Essential Mineral for Hair Pigmentation

A lesser-known but critical player in hair color is copper, a trace mineral that serves as a co-factor for tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for producing melanin.

Research shows that people with premature greying, especially those under 30, often have significantly lower serum copper levels. Without enough copper, your body can't effectively make pigment, no matter how healthy your follicles are.

⚠️ That said, excessive copper can be harmful. It’s important to consume it in safe, measured doses as part of a balanced supplement.

4. PABA (Para-Aminobenzoic Acid): An Old School Hair Darkening Agent

PABA has a long anecdotal history as a natural treatment for gray hair. Although not as extensively studied as other ingredients, several small studies and case reports suggest that PABA may trigger re-pigmentation in some individuals when taken in high doses over several months.

It’s believed to work either by mimicking co-enzymes in melanin pathways or by supporting folate metabolism, though results are often temporary and fade when supplementation stops.

⚠️ High-dose PABA can cause digestive discomfort, so it's typically included in moderate, well-tolerated amounts in formulas like antigrey™.

Why antigrey™ Combines These Ingredients and More

While Catalase, Fo-Ti Root, Copper, and PABA are the primary ingredients targeting the root causes of grey hair, antigrey™ also includes a supportive blend of vitamins and botanical extracts that address overall follicle health:

• Biotin & B-Vitamins – Strengthen hair structure and growth
• Zinc – Supports cellular repair and antioxidant protection
• Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid) – Linked to hair pigmentation in rodent studies
• Saw Palmetto, Horsetail & Stinging Nettle – Promote scalp circulation and hormonal balance
• Chlorella, Barley Grass & Plant Sterols – Help combat oxidative stress and inflammation
