Oxford Biolabs’ Development Helps Support Natural Hair Pigmentation

Greying hair is one of the biggest ageing complaints. One study to determine the factors associated with looking older demonstrated that greying of the hair is related to predictably looking older. According to Transparency Market Research, the global anti-ageing market is poised for a compounded annual growth rate of 7.8% between 2013 and 2019 and is predicted to be worth US$191.7 billion by 2019.

Recognising that premature ageing is a big concern for many people, a group of scientists at Oxford Biolabs has developed a product that can help to control hair ageing. Its active ingredients can help maintain natural hair pigmentation. The product will enable men and women who are experiencing premature greying or greying in general – or those who would like to slow down the greying process – to better manage the processes that turn their hair grey.

Melaniq® Food Supplement for Hair Pigmentation is the first of Oxford Biolabs’ products to address hair pigmentation, which has recently debuted on the global market. The scientific research underlying the product will ensure a safe and effective solution to the nourishment of greying hair.

“With age, hair follicles can lose the ability to produce pigmented hair, leading to the incidence of grey hair,” explains Dr Thomas Whitfield, CEO & Scientific Lead. “In the knowledge that copper plays a major role in normal hair pigmentation, Oxford Biolabs scientists have combined it with other natural, active ingredients to develop Melaniq®, a highly innovative food supplement.”

The process of greying is determined by various factors, including genetics, environment, stress, poor diet, gender, ethnicity and geographical origin. Usually starting greying in their thirties, 74% of men and women go significantly grey between the ages of 45 and 65. Most of them would like to maintain their natural colour, removing the need for repeated hair colouring, making them look and feel younger, and therefore improving their quality of life.

The Melaniq® formula was specifically designed to support normal pigment production in the hair follicles, by supplying the important nutrients required for melanin biosynthesis and necessary for hair health.
