Hi Christy, I personally know of two different people who began taking colloidal minerals and their amount of gray lessened. One of them just a little and the other almost completely. I also remember seeing a product in a health magazine that claims to make your natural color come back. It is a natural supplement. I believe the name was 'Shen Min'. I can check some of my back issues and see for sure if you would like. If you do find something, let us all know! I'm sure there would be plenty of interest on the list. I pretty much skipped the gray, too and started getting silver. It provides quite a contrast to my jet black hair. I don't really mind it much, though. It is supposed make us men look 'distinguished' anyway, isn't it?
