NOW Foods Supplements, PABA (Para-Aminobenzoic Acid) 500 mg, B-Complex Family, 100 Capsules

About 40 years ago I got on a kick of reading up on vitamins. I don't know how I figured this out, but I realized if you took about 800 d- alpha tocopheral of vitamin E and about 1000mg of PABA, you would have the following results. Your hair did not turn gray. Supposedly it could reverse that process to some degree. You would be taking internally skin protectant and not sunburn or wrinkle very much, if at all. ALL OF IT TRUE. I'm a light skinned blonde who never tanned. I tan a beautiful color now. LET me change that- when I was younger I did and up until about 3 years ago it was ALL still true. I was 65. I was 28 when I started this. All I ever did was burn and peel. I never laid out for that purpose I did it bc I lived in Southern California and thats just what you did. i worked on the ramp for the airlines in the sun and was always just red faced. I started tanning the most beautiful color. No more sunburn and peel. My hair became a beautiful goldish white. I look at pictures back then and can't believe it's me. NOW i'm 68. my whole family was mostly or totally grey by their 40's. I have like 5-7 grey hairs and it's probably just bc I got very extended sick. And grey hair wasn't my first concern at the time and so I wasn't taking them for at least a year. So if nothing else, I'm not sure if it reversed anything, but I've definitely stopped the process of greying again. The REALLY fascinating part of this is a few years later i was reading a book of my sister's about the winners of Nobel Prizesand their winning projects. A couple of people had discovered the grey hair thing. They completely missed the nonwrinkle aspect of it and the no more sunburning and total tanning protection of the PABA. I take it as a combo, for the grey hair also, so I don't know if you need the vit E for the tanning or not. I do know the PABA begins working on the tanning aspect pretty quickly. I never expected that result. I don't know how long it was, but no more than a couple months I don't think before I laid out by the pool. You can imagine how thrilled i was to have brown tan lines that evening instead of burning red skin! The vit E has to be helpful in maintaining the softness of your skin for nonwrinkling. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND at least the PABA, but more the combo. It's not just my experience- It's a Nobel Prize winner!

Really helped me with Grey hair in a few weeks time, I don’t need to dye my hair anymore!

What I ordered.

I bought this for my hairs to be black , but i notice that it is less effective :(

I ordered this by accident (I had been researching GABA). Then I read about the hair color thing, so I thought, what the heck. I started taking 1 a day, and after a couple of weeks, my hair started showing dark roots (It was white since before 2000). It looks like I'll wind up with white at the temples, going through salt and pepper to my original brown at the top and back. Cool!Another nice thing is that I have seen a definite increase in new hair growth. It's thicker, and wow is it shiny!Turns out studies have shown that 10 to 30% of people who supplemented at much higher doses than this saw hair color restored. From my reading I'd definitely not go over 1 gram a day, though, due to potential problems.Recent research has shown that some hair color loss is caused by excess hydrogen peroxide in the hair follicles, which actually bleaches the hair inside the scalp. So I guess it's been there all along, on the inside.Full disclosure - this is not the only supplement I'm taking that is said to affect hair color. Most are recent additions, so I have no idea whether it was one of them, PABA, or some combination. But they all have substantial benefits in other areas. Here is the full list:These are standalone supplements:PABA (500 mg/day)Vitamin E (400mg/day)B12 (5000mcg/day sublingual)Biotin (5000 mcg/day)Inositol (100 mg/day)Some also come from the multivitamins that I take:Nature's Lab One Daily Multi-VitaminVitamin E (30mg/day)B5 (10 mg/day)Biotin (500 mcg/day)Folic Acid (800mcg/day)B12 (500mcg/day)Nature's Way Vitamin B-100 ComplexB5 (100 mg/day)Biotin (100 mcg/day)Folic Acid (400mcg/day)PABA (100 mg/day)B12 (500mcg/day)I go with Average Amazon rating, my trust in the manufacturer, and value to select. Not all are from Amazon, but most are.Check dosages against common supplements sold in Amazon - Don't treat my numbers as gospel. It is too easy to make a mistake between mcg, mg and g.

Great product, I've been using it for years. I trust the brand

Have been taking for a few years and it’s always the same. Good product

Have not seen any difference with white hair. Have taken for over a month now. Will probably not continue with it.
