Patient’s hair color returned from white hair to dirty blonde in 6 months with benfotiamine

The supplement that caused my hair to go from gray back to my natural “dirty blonde” is benfotiamine (150 mg per day).   Benfotiamine is a relatively new oil-based form of vitamin B-1.   It is not degraded by caffeine, alcohol or sugar, as is regular water-based B-1.

It was not fast-acting.   It took about 6 months or so before color began to slowly return around the edges in back and on my side burns.   I didn’t really pay much attention, but the color gradually (over a few years) increased in area to where it is now.

I take benfotiamine for it’s health benefits, the hair color is just a pleasant side effect.
