Graying Beard. Is There A Medication To Correct It?

I am Murtuza Ali Khan, My beard started changing into white since I was 25 yrs old. Now I am 37 and my entire beard turned grey. Many children call me grandpa and people around 50s call me uncle or sometimes says elder one who has much experience. so please suggest me a good medicine or any other technique except using of chemicals.

Hi,
Welcome to HCM & thanks for writing in.
The condition is called canities.
Its mostly genetic and partly environmental.Some nutritional deficiency is also associated with hair becoming grey.
Biotin ,calcium pantothenate and N acetyl cysteine intake as hair supplement will stop further progression of hair going grey.there is no proven medication for turning white hair into black.
Consultation with dermatologist will allow prescription medications.
Hope this helps.
I wish him good health.
Regards.
