Copper hair color

[Methyl90]

I noticed auburn hair that I didn't have before, what can be the cause? Copper toxicity, B12 deficiency or other mineral absorption imbalances? Thank you

what can be the cause

Googling produced this answer for hair turning red (I don't think its copper).

The amount of pheomelanin pigment determine how red our hair is. ... They just aren't using the pigment genes. The genes for making melanin might turn on or off over the course a person's lifetime. If this happens in the cells at the bottom of your hairs, your hair might change color!May 22, 2018

(I don't think its copper).

I've heard that something about copper has to do with turning grey.

(personal note: very oddly, I'm 68 and have almost no grey hair, only a tiny bit at my temples, and it doesn't seem to increase in amount).

I'm guessing that your gut is making some of the B vitamins. I found years ago that if I took B1 and B2 once in a while the salt and pepper in my hair diminishes.

I can't take it all the time though because B1 (thiamin) is a sulfur/thiol and I get headaches if I consume too many of those.

Unfortunately, the discovery I mentioned in my comment above doesn't seem to help with this. I, too, am noticing more auburn/orange color in my hair. Normally it's all dark brunette.

The sun can bring out orange in hair but I hardly ever am in the sun as leaving my house just to go outside is very difficult for me with the ME.

my hair is disconcertingly dark these days, from not being outside in sunlight tht tends to lighten it alot.

I promised a friend I"d launch the All THIAMINE cure. Its here, now, still on the shelf, unopened. I think its gonna cause a detox effect, I bought charcoal, too!

Yeah, be careful with it if you start. Start low and go slow...and STOP if it starts causing any problems.

why is outside so hard? I just can't last long out there.

and I"m an outdoor person.

I'm for now just trying to take my plain Jane multi vitamin wiht plain b's in it. methylated ones. I guess.

I can tell I'm scared to start it.
