Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM
You have mentioned two concerns:
--premature graying of hair
--hair fall
Premature graying of hair may occur due to nutritional deficiency, stress, anxiety, smoking. In most cases either it is hereditary Or idiopathic.
Taking a dietary supplement rich in hair friendly minerals and vitamins (copper, selenium, manganese, biotin, other vitamins esp Calcium Pantothenate and PABA) and being stress free would help in preventing further premature graying.
Hair fall too can be due to nutritional deficiency, chronic illness, stress or it could be Androgenetic alopecia. In addition to the dietary supplement rich in hair friendly minerals and vitamins, i advice my patients to use either topical 5% minoxidil preparation twice daily OR a hair tincture containing Vit K , Benzyl nicotinate, salicylic acid twice daily. They are available on prescription from a dermatologist.
take care
regards
