Research Abstract |
Hair graying is an obvious sign of human aging and also recognized as a barometer of health (i.e. nutrition, stress or immunity). Therefore, preventing hair graying may give us the appearance of having a healthy and active lifestyle. Although the mechanisms of hair graying have been reported for decades, anti-hair graying drugs are not yet developed. In this study we selected anti-hair graying drugs (in vitro and in vivo methods) from around 3000 kinds of plant extracts or chemicals.
