does copper deficiency always result in greying of the hair?

No. Glycation can cause gray hair too, and is likely the major cause especially in aging people. Copper deficiency can cause a host of symptoms. Many of which can be far more unpleasant than simply gray hair. Neurological issues, balance and coordination problems, low libido, high LH despite low T, high SHBG, low dopamine, etc.

You need ceruloplasmin too, not just copper from food sources. High free copper can be toxic and bad. To keep your ceruloplasmin up you need vitamin A and thyroid.

I know gray hair doesn’t automatically mean copper deficiency. But does copper deficiency automatically mean gray hair?
