Gray hair, hair loss and Co.

"I'm going grey!"

And that's exactly why I sat down and read up on why people go grey in the first place and whether there is a way to possibly slow down the greying or to strengthen hair growth and colour.

From my research I found the following:

Stress as the main cause of gray hair

When faced with psychological and physical stress, the body is activated by a stress response, and bodily functions adapt. Imagine you are rushing to safety at the last second before a serious accident occurs. The moment you realize this, your body triggers a so-called "fight-or-flight" response. For example, you have:

  • sharpened senses
  • reduced sensitivity to pain
  • increased power and performance
  • dilated pupils
  • nervousness

Why?

An amino acid (tyrosine) undergoes several conversion processes (bodily reactions) first to noradrenaline and then to adrenaline. These reactions occur in the adrenal medulla and in certain nerve cells (noradrenergic neurons) of the autonomic nervous system (sympathetic nervous system), as well as in various brain cells. These two stress hormones are essential for human survival. That much is certain. But what effect do these reactions have elsewhere?

It has been researched that hair pigment stem cells also receive stress signals. The stress signal that The substance that reaches the cells consists of large amounts of the hormone and neurotransmitter noradrenaline. There, it strongly stimulates the stem cells responsible for melanin production.

The stem cells divide and become adult melanin cells, which are formed and die much faster, leaving no stem cells to form new melanin cells. Melanin is the pigment responsible for the natural color of hair.

As we age, melanocyte activity slows down and melanin production gradually ceases. As a result, hair loses its natural color and turns white.

So, on the one hand, too much stress and increasing age can be responsible for the hair that grows back being colorless.

Other symptoms may also occur if z.BAdrenaline is activated as a reaction to everyday stress. Sleep disturbances occur when your head is full of thoughts. Fears and worries also stimulate your body to release adrenaline and other stress-related hormones (z.B. Cortisol).

As the body's exhaustion progresses under stress, noradrenaline levels may drop to very low levels. This is often observed in burnout syndrome.

What can I do now?

As described above, melanin production is supported by the enzyme tyrosine. Certain nutrients, vitamins, herbs, etc., can provide valuable support here. Let's take a closer look.
