A member asked:
I'm 28 yrs old female. i have gray hair caused due to copper deficiency. if i take enough copper mineral then will i get rid of gray hair?

Unlikely but...: You say that your grey hair was caused by copper deficiency but are you sure? Copper deficiency can cause grey hair but there are other causes and genetics play a significant role. See: https://tinyurl.com/ycf8ypyt and https://tinyurl.com/ycn2f2lg While some claim taking copper can reverse grey hair I don't know of any research proving it. See https://tinyurl.com/ycn2f2lg But it's safe to try it.
