Luteolin is best known for its systemic antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. It has been studied for neuroprotection, immune modulation, and more recently, skin and hair health. Within the HairLabs Anti Grey 1.0 formulation, luteolin plays a key role in shielding pigment-producing cells from oxidative degradation and maintaining the follicular environment under everyday stressors.

Yes. Luteolin has a strong safety profile at supplemental doses up to 300 mg/day, with 100 mg considered well within tolerable intake. No serious adverse events have been reported in clinical studies. Nonetheless, individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking prescription medications — especially anticoagulants — should consult a healthcare provider before use.

Luteolin does not act as a growth stimulant but may help preserve the scalp and follicular environment by mitigating inflammation and oxidative stress — two primary drivers of hair thinning and pigment depletion. Its protective effect on melanocyte stem cells may delay or reduce the visible progression of greying.

Luteolin is a potent antioxidant that helps protect the delicate pigment-producing cells in your follicles from damage. When combined with Vitamin C (which recycles antioxidants), copper (which supports pigment enzymes), and other stress-buffering ingredients, it helps form a shield around your hair’s natural colour. Think of it as part of the defence team that keeps grey hairs at bay for longer.

Yes. Psychological and physical stress can trigger the depletion of melanocyte stem cells and disrupt the normal hair cycle, contributing to greying and telogen effluvium. L-Tyrosine helps sustain the body’s production of catecholamines, which are rapidly consumed during stress. By supporting neurotransmitter balance, it helps reduce stress-related follicular dysregulation — a key contributor to premature greying.

L-Tyrosine is well-tolerated and safe at doses up to 2,000 mg/day. HairLabs uses 500 mg — a level that falls well below known safety thresholds. It may not be suitable for individuals with hyperthyroidism or those on monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), due to its role in thyroid and neurotransmitter metabolism. Anyone with a medical condition should consult a healthcare provider before use.

Yes. L-Tyrosine is often combined with co-factors like copper (for melanin production) and synergistic ingredients such as ashwagandha and B-complex vitamins. This creates a coordinated approach to supporting pigment pathways, hormonal stability, and stress resilience — three pillars of long-term follicular health.

L-Tyrosine is a building block for dopamine and other feel-good brain chemicals, but it’s also the starting material your body uses to make melanin — the pigment that gives hair its natural colour. By combining it with copper (which activates pigment enzymes) and B vitamins (which support energy and hormonal balance), this formula creates a full pathway that helps the body hold onto pigment and reduce the effects of everyday stress.

Vitamin B12 supports red blood cell formation, oxygen transport, energy production, and nervous system function. It is essential for maintaining healthy hair follicles and cognitive clarity, especially during periods of fatigue, stress, or dietary restriction.

Yes! B12 deficiency is one of the most consistently reported nutritional factors associated with premature greying. By ensuring sufficient intake, B12 supports the metabolic and methylation pathways involved in melanin production and hair matrix activity.

Unlikely. Since B12 is found almost exclusively in animal-derived foods, most vegans require fortified foods or supplements. Deficiency may take months or years to manifest but can significantly impact energy, cognition, and hair quality if left unaddressed.

Vitamin B12 supports red blood cell production and nervous system health — but in this formula, its most important job is to keep pigment-producing cells energised and well-supplied with oxygen. It works especially well when paired with folate and B6 to support methylation, a key process that keeps melanin production running smoothly. Together, they help create the perfect internal environment for healthy, vibrant hair.

Folate refers to the naturally occurring and biologically active forms of Vitamin B9, such as L-5-MTHF. Folic acid is a synthetic form that must be converted into L-5-MTHF by the body. Individuals with MTHFR gene variations may have difficulty with this conversion, making L-5-MTHF the preferred form for consistent bioavailability and methylation support.

Yes. Folate is essential for healthy DNA synthesis and cell proliferation in hair follicles. It also supports red blood cell formation and oxygen delivery, both of which are necessary for sustained follicular activity. Low folate levels have been observed in individuals with premature greying, and addressing these insufficiencies may help preserve pigment and reduce thinning linked to impaired cell renewal.

Possibly, but modern dietary habits, food preparation, and individual genetic differences can limit bioavailable folate intake. While leafy greens and legumes are rich in folate, supplementation with L-5-MTHF offers a reliable and highly absorbable form to ensure optimal daily intake, particularly in populations with elevated needs or compromised methylation capacity.

Folate (in its active form, L-5-MTHF) works hand-in-hand with Vitamin B12 and B6 to support methylation — a vital process for healthy gene expression, pigment maintenance, and energy production. This trio helps regulate the environment around your hair follicles, supporting both growth and colour. Combined with tyrosine and copper, Folate helps ensure the whole pigmentation pathway has the support it needs.

Vitamin B6 supports healthy hair by regulating amino acid metabolism needed for keratin production and may indirectly influence hormonal balance related to androgenic hair thinning. It also supports red blood cell formation, improving scalp circulation and nutrient delivery to the follicle — all essential factors for hair growth and retention.

B6 is naturally present in poultry, fish, bananas, potatoes, legumes, seeds, and leafy greens. While dietary intake helps maintain baseline levels, factors such as cooking loss, stress, or increased metabolic demand may justify supplementation — especially for those targeting follicle-specific outcomes like pigmentation or structural support.

Yes. Pyridoxine is involved in the synthesis of serotonin and melatonin — two neurotransmitters critical for mood regulation and circadian rhythm. By supporting natural melatonin production, B6 may help improve sleep onset and quality, particularly during periods of elevated stress or disrupted hormonal signalling.

Vitamin B6 supports amino acid metabolism and helps regulate hormones — both of which are key to healthy hair. In the Anti Grey 1.0 formula, it pairs with B12 and Folate to support the methylation cycle and pigment preservation. It also supports the utilisation of tyrosine, making sure your body can make the most of its pigment-building potential.

Yes. Biotin is safe for daily use and widely recommended in beauty formulations. It is water-soluble, meaning excess is excreted via urine. While rare, very high doses may interfere with certain lab diagnostics (such as thyroid and cardiac tests), so always inform your healthcare provider if undergoing testing.

Biotin deficiency is uncommon but can present as thinning hair, brittle nails, dry or scaly skin, or neurological symptoms such as fatigue, mood changes, and muscle discomfort. In clinical cases, biotin supplementation has been shown to reverse these symptoms — particularly when linked to impaired biotin absorption or genetic factors.

Yes. Biotin is important during pregnancy, and mild deficiency is relatively common due to increased metabolic demand. Many prenatal vitamins include it for this reason. HairLabs recommends pregnant individuals consult a healthcare provider before taking high-dose standalone supplements, as prenatal requirements are typically met through standard formulations.

Biotin is often called the “beauty vitamin” for its role in hair strength and growth — but it doesn’t act alone. In this formula, it’s supported by key co-factors like folate, Vitamin B12, and B6, which help with cell renewal and protein metabolism. This blend ensures your hair has the structural nutrients it needs, while other ingredients focus on keeping the pigment-producing cells healthy. It’s a full-circle approach to both strength and colour.

Symptoms may include anaemia (due to impaired iron transport), neutropenia (low white blood cells), neurological disturbances (e.g. numbness or impaired balance), brittle hair, and pigment loss in both hair and skin. Though rare, copper deficiency can have widespread effects due to its involvement in multiple enzymatic systems.

Copper may be indicated for individuals with confirmed deficiency, those with absorption disorders (e.g. coeliac disease), or individuals on prolonged high-dose zinc supplementation, which can reduce copper absorption. In pigmentation-specific contexts, supplementation can help restore melanin production when low copper is a limiting factor.

Yes. Dietary sources of copper include shellfish, liver, nuts, seeds, legumes, whole grains, and leafy greens. However, nutrient interactions, digestive health, and modern dietary patterns may impact absorption. HairLabs Anti Grey 1.0 includes copper in a controlled, bioavailable dose to ensure consistent intake where dietary supply may be variable.

Copper is the mineral that activates tyrosinase — the enzyme responsible for turning tyrosine into melanin. Without it, the pigment pathway can’t function properly. That’s why we’ve paired copper with tyrosine and supportive B vitamins to give your hair all the tools it needs to keep its natural colour. It’s also backed by antioxidants like Luteolin and Vitamin C to protect the cells involved in pigmentation.

Vitamin B5 is critical for the production of coenzyme A — a molecule involved in synthesising hormones, metabolising fats and carbohydrates, and supporting healthy skin and hair. It also plays a role in managing the body’s response to stress by supporting adrenal function and energy release.

Yes. Pantothenic acid has been studied for its role in reducing sebum production and supporting skin repair. Although not the primary aim of HairLabs Anti Grey 1.0, this mechanism indirectly supports scalp health and inflammation control — key factors in follicular function.

Pantothenic acid is required for synthesising coenzyme A, which fuels the Krebs cycle — the body’s main energy-generating process. Through this role, it enables the efficient conversion of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into usable cellular energy.

Vitamin B5 helps produce coenzyme A, which supports energy metabolism and hormone synthesis — both crucial for hair vitality. In this formula, it works closely with other B vitamins and adaptogens like Ashwagandha and Rhodiola to help your body cope with stress, which can otherwise drain the pigment and strength from your strands. It’s a quiet multitasker that helps power the entire system.

Vitamin C supports follicle integrity through cumulative antioxidant effects. When combined with other co-factors in HairLabs Anti Grey 1.0, results such as improved strand strength and reduced oxidative shedding may become noticeable within 4–8 weeks of consistent use.

Yes, within reason. Doses under 2000 mg/day are considered safe for most adults. HairLabs uses 100 mg — a moderate and effective dose that avoids gastrointestinal side effects and aligns with UK and EFSA guidance. Very high doses may cause stomach upset in sensitive individuals.

Many people can meet their Vitamin C needs through a diet rich in fruit and vegetables. However, factors such as cooking, storage losses, smoking, or elevated oxidative stress may increase individual requirements. Supplementing with 100 mg helps ensure reliable antioxidant support for hair and skin integrity, especially when targeting pigment retention.

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that protects hair follicles from oxidative damage — one of the major causes of premature greying. It also boosts the effectiveness of other ingredients like Luteolin and Copper by helping regenerate antioxidant systems and supporting collagen structure. Its presence helps all the other nutrients work better by creating a stable, protected environment for pigment cells.

Sunlight can stimulate D3 synthesis, but many individuals — especially in northern latitudes or during winter — may not generate sufficient levels. Age, skin pigmentation, and use of sunscreen can also reduce production. Supplementation with 1000 IU helps ensure reliable daily intake without depending solely on environmental exposure.

Yes, when taken within safe limits. The upper tolerable intake for adults is 4000 IU/day. HairLabs uses 1000 IU — a dose that is both effective and well within established safety margins. As Vitamin D is stored in fat tissue, prolonged high doses should be monitored by a healthcare professional.

Vitamin D3 is naturally present in fatty fish (e.g. salmon, sardines), cod liver oil, and egg yolks. Some foods — such as milk, orange juice, and cereals — are fortified. However, dietary intake alone is often insufficient, particularly for individuals with limited sun exposure or increased physiological demands.

Vitamin D3 supports immune balance and follicle cycling, which are essential for hair maintenance. It complements stress-reducing ingredients like Ashwagandha and hormonal regulators like B6 by helping to keep the scalp environment calm and responsive. It also helps maintain the activity of hair follicle stem cells — making sure the rest of the ingredients can do their jobs in a stable, well-regulated system.
