Gray Hair Formula
Vitabase
Overview
The formula includes several ingredients with some purported links to hair health and color, such as L-Tyrosine for melanin production and B vitamins for overall cellular function. However, the efficacy of ingredients like Catalase and Fo-Ti for reversing or preventing gray hair is poorly supported by robust human clinical trials, and some herbal doses may be lower than those traditionally used or studied for other conditions. While some B vitamins are adequately dosed, the multi-ingredient approach without strong synergistic evidence makes overall effectiveness for its primary claim uncertain.
The Good
Contains B Vitamins (B6, Folic Acid, Biotin, Pantothenic Acid) at generally effective dosages for overall health.
Includes Zinc, an essential mineral for hair health and immune function.
PABA is included, which has been anecdotally associated with hair repigmentation, though evidence is limited.
The Bad
Primary active ingredients (Catalase, Fo-Ti) lack strong scientific evidence for reversing or preventing gray hair in humans.
Fo-Ti carries a notable risk of liver toxicity, which is a significant safety concern.
Many herbal ingredients are at doses lower than those typically studied for significant therapeutic effects.
