Renewal
Stem-cell signallingMelanocyte stem cells get stuck in the bulge niche — unable to migrate to the hair bulb and produce pigment. Without reactivation, each new hair cycle grows grey.
Luteolin (100mg) restores Endothelin-1 signalling, reactivating dormant melanocyte stem cells. Ascorbic Acid (100mg) regenerates oxidised Luteolin back to its active form, sustaining the catalytic cycle.
