Does anyone have any advice for how the deal with grey hair caused by a vitamin deficiency? I'm 32, and for the past 2 years, I have noticed more and more grey hairs showing up all over my body. Around the same time, I've started to notice small white spots on my finger nails, which I feel are definitely related, and was prone to having ulcers inside my mouth. The ulcers have gone away, but I still notice the white spots, even if they aren't as prevalent as before. There's no history of going grey this early in my family, and I notice the amount of grey hair tends to fluctuate based on what I'm eating, so I'm almost positive that it's a deficiency of some kind. I was diagnosed with a vitamin D deficiency years ago, but I have been taking supplements for nearly 6 months and have noticed very few changes.

A few years back, I was drinking too much coffee, dealing with extreme stress, while also eating little to no meat and taking no supplements whatsoever. Even now, if I have tea or coffee (or even decaf), I will notice more grey hairs the days after. Now I eat a much more balanced diet, and take daily supplements. I do notice having more energy, but the grey hairs keep showing up. Even if I eat green/leafy veggies, like spinach or broccoli, it seems to make it worse as well, which goes against everything I've ready online.

Right now, I take vitamin C, vitamin D, magnesium, zinc 15mg, B12, a daily vitamin and gummies specifically to help with skin and nail health. It seemed like the zinc is helped some, but I used to take 50mg a day, and I found that the higher dose only worsened my grey hair. I have tried copper as well, and I noticed the same effect. I tried black sesame seeds for a while too, but again, that didn't help but only made it worse.

It's confusing, since I've talked with my doctor about this, and there is no general blood test offered by the local hospital which will measure my levels, and I would instead have to test each vitamin individually, which would not be covered by my insurance. I've been trying different supplements for years, alongside trying new diets and spendings hours reading about nutrition online, and nothing seems to be working. Any thoughts?

Does anyone have any advice for how to deal with severe wrinkles around the eyes? Mine are caused by dry eyes, but after several visits with my optician over the past few months, we've yet to find a solution. I recently started to use eye lid cleansing pads, and so far, so that seems to be the most effective.

I've tried retinols, moisturizer, vaseline, warm compresses you name it, but none it seems to be working. I'm only 32, but I've noticed that it's starting to spread and even the skin around my cheeks and nose are starting to wrinkle. I know it's caused from using my laptop, but like most folks, I'm on it constantly for work. Thanks!
