Brief Answer:
Controlled by genetic factors.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. Greying of hair is usually a factor controlled by genetics. You can feel free to try zinc supplements and see if it helps but it can not be predicted if there would be a difference in outcomes.

Becozinc may be tried. Rather Cobadex CZS tablet seems to be a better option (there is a difference in amount of zinc content). Cannot comment on Betozid. If your planning to give any of these, be sure to try for at least 3-6 months.

Let me know if I could help further.

Regards
