This Formula Is For You If...
You're Starting To See Gray
You Want To Stay Ahead Of It
Your color is still yours, and you'd like to support the antioxidant defenses that decline with age before the grays arrive.
BioCopper1®
Trying to Prevent Gray or Get Your Natural Color Back?
Gray hair isn't one problem. Restore supports the biological pathways behind your natural color, from the enzyme that makes melanin to the oxidative stress that slows it down.†
Tyrosinase Needs Copper
Tyrosinase is the enzyme that turns L-tyrosine into melanin, and it can't work without copper. Studies have found lower blood copper in people with premature graying than in those without. BioCopper1® delivers copper in its Cu1 form to support tyrosinase at the follicle.†
Pigment Needs Raw Materials
Melanin is built from the amino acid L-tyrosine, so your follicles need a steady supply to make color. Low vitamin B12 and low selenium have both been linked to loss of hair color. Restore supplies L-tyrosine, methylcobalamin (B12), vitamin B5 and selenium.†
Hydrogen Peroxide Builds Up
Researchers found that gray and white hair accumulates hydrogen peroxide, the same compound used to bleach hair. At the same time, catalase, the enzyme that breaks it down, nearly disappears from the follicle. The buildup damages tyrosinase, so less melanin reaches each new strand.
Oxidative Stress Outpaces Your Defenses
Hair follicles are among the most metabolically active structures in the body, and that activity produces free radicals. Oxidative stress has been linked to damage in the pigment cells that give hair its color. When your antioxidant defenses fall behind, pigment production slows.
Nrf2 Turns On Your Natural Defenses
Nrf2 is the master switch that tells your cells to make their own antioxidant enzymes, including catalase. Sulforaphane from broccoli seed activates Nrf2, and in lab studies on human scalp follicles it lowered oxidative stress. Restore's BroccoRaphanin® Plus pairs broccoli seed with active myrosinase, the enzyme that converts it into sulforaphane.†
Antioxidant Defense Needs Backup
Your body's own enzymes do the heavy lifting, but they work best with support. BCM-95® is a highly absorbable curcumin that supports a healthy response to oxidative stress, and BioPerine® helps your body absorb it. Selenium rounds out the defense as a building block of glutathione peroxidase, another enzyme that neutralizes hydrogen peroxide.†
Nrf2 Antioxidant & Catalase Support Complex
Your Body's Own Defense Switch
Nrf2 is the master switch that tells your cells to make their own antioxidant enzymes, including catalase. Restore's Nrf2 Complex pairs two ingredients that work through this pathway, supporting the defenses your follicles already have instead of adding an outside antioxidant.†
1
Peroxide builds up
Gray hair accumulates hydrogen peroxide as catalase, the enzyme that breaks it down, nearly disappears. That peroxide damages tyrosinase, the enzyme that makes melanin.
2
Nrf2 switches on
Nrf2 activators release Nrf2 so it can move into the cell nucleus and turn on the genes for your body's protective enzymes.
3
Defenses rebuild
Cells produce more of their own antioxidant enzymes, including catalase, to help clear oxidative stress and protect the pigment process.†
BroccoRaphanin® Plus
150 mgBroccoli seed with active myrosinase
Broccoli seed is rich in glucoraphanin, which the enzyme myrosinase converts into sulforaphane, one of the most studied natural Nrf2 activators.†
- Includes active myrosinase for conversion
- Sulforaphane is 3–4x more bioavailable with active myrosinase
- Supports catalase and other protective enzymes
BCM-95® Curcumin
100 mgBioavailable turmeric extract
Curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, also activates Nrf2 by loosening the protein that normally keeps it switched off. BCM-95® pairs curcumin with turmeric's own essential oils for better absorption.†
- Second Nrf2 activator in the complex
- About 6.9x the bioavailability of standard curcumin
- Absorption supported by BioPerine®
What the Research Shows
Gray and white human scalp hair accumulates hydrogen peroxide, while catalase is almost absent from the follicle.
Wood et al., FASEB Journal, 2009In lab studies on human scalp hair follicles, sulforaphane activated Nrf2, lowered oxidative stress and protected follicles from hydrogen peroxide damage.
Haslam et al., Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2016Broccoli seed and sprout preparations with active myrosinase delivered 3–4 times more bioavailable sulforaphane than glucoraphanin alone.
Fahey et al., PLoS One, 2015Curcumin increases nuclear Nrf2 levels by interacting with Keap1, the protein that holds Nrf2 inactive.
Rahban et al., Antioxidants, 2020Build Pigment. Protect Pigment. Two Capsules.
Restore supports both sides of natural hair color: the nutrients your follicles use to make melanin, and the antioxidant defenses that protect it.†
Build Pigment
- Copper cofactor for tyrosinase (BioCopper1®)
- L-tyrosine, the building block of melanin
- Methylcobalamin (B12) for healthy follicle cells
- Vitamin B5 for cellular energy
- Iodine and selenium for normal thyroid function
Protect Pigment
- Nrf2 activation from broccoli seed

Most hair supplements focus on growth.
Restore is built for one goal: supporting the natural color your hair grows in with.†
What to Expect and When
Hair color is set as each strand forms, so results show up in new growth first. Here's a realistic picture of what to expect over six months.
Restore works on new growth, so give it at least 3–6 months of daily use. Results aren't instant. Individual results may vary. For scalp hair only.

BioCopper1® (Cu1 Copper) 10mg per serving
Proprietary · Pigment
This is the only form of copper delivered in the active state your cells actually use. Think of it as the "master key" for your mitochondria; it powers the energy centers in every cell to support repair and growth. For your hair, this means fueling the high-energy demands of the follicle and activating tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for melanin and pigment. We’ve packed 10mg into every serving—five times the amount in our standard formula-to ensure your follicles have the specific resources they need to thrive and stay vibrant.
Clinical claim:
The only bioavailable copper 1 supplement. Required cofactor for both growth energy and melanin synthesis in hair follicles.
L-Tyrosine 200mg per serving
Amino Acid · Pigment Precursor
L-tyrosine is the raw material your hair makes color from. Inside the follicle, pigment cells use tyrosinase to convert tyrosine into the melanin that gives each strand its shade. Your body can make tyrosine from other amino acids, but the pigment pathway depends on a steady supply. Restore provides it directly, alongside the copper tyrosinase needs to put it to work.†
Research note:
When tyrosine availability to pigment cells drops, as in the metabolic condition PKU, hair and skin become noticeably lighter.
BroccoRaphanin® Plus 150mg per serving
Broccoli Seed · Nrf2 Activation
This is the formula’s defense system. Nrf2 is the master switch that tells your cells to produce their own antioxidant enzymes, including catalase, the enzyme that breaks down hydrogen peroxide. Researchers have found that gray hair accumulates hydrogen peroxide while catalase nearly disappears, and that the peroxide damages tyrosinase. BroccoRaphanin® Plus pairs broccoli seed with active myrosinase, the enzyme that converts it into sulforaphane, one of the most studied natural Nrf2 activators. Rather than adding an outside antioxidant, it supports your body’s own defenses at the source.†
Research note:
In lab studies on human scalp hair follicles, sulforaphane activated Nrf2, lowered oxidative stress and protected follicles from hydrogen peroxide damage. Active myrosinase makes broccoli seed sulforaphane 3–4x more bioavailable.
BCM-95® Curcumin 100mg per serving
Turmeric Extract · Antioxidant
Curcumin is the active compound in turmeric, studied for its role in the body’s response to oxidative stress. Standard curcumin is poorly absorbed, so Restore uses BCM-95®, which pairs curcumin with turmeric’s own essential oils. Working alongside BroccoRaphanin® Plus, it adds a second layer of antioxidant support for the follicle.†
Research note:
In a human crossover study, BCM-95® delivered about 6.9 times the bioavailability of standard curcumin.
BioPerine® 5mg per serving
Black Pepper Extract · Bioavailability
BioPerine® is a standardized extract of piperine, the compound that gives black pepper its bite. It helps your body absorb nutrients by slowing how quickly some are broken down in the gut and liver. In Restore, it supports absorption of curcumin and selenium, so more of each capsule reaches the places it’s needed.†
Research note:
Piperine has been studied for increasing the absorption of nutrients including curcumin, beta-carotene and selenium.
Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin) 100mcg per serving
Essential Vitamin · Pigment Support
Vitamin B12 is essential for healthy red blood cells and the DNA synthesis that fast-dividing follicle cells rely on. Low B12 is one of the best-known nutritional links to premature graying, and absorption declines with age. Restore uses methylcobalamin, an active form of B12, to support healthy levels.†
Research note:
Case reports describe gray hair returning to its natural color after a B12 deficiency was corrected, and case-control studies link low B12 to premature graying.
Selenium (L-Selenomethionine) 100mcg per serving
Essential Mineral · Antioxidant
Selenium is a building block of glutathione peroxidase, one of the enzymes your body uses to neutralize hydrogen peroxide. It also helps convert thyroid hormone into its active form, which plays a role in follicle pigmentation. Restore uses L-selenomethionine, a well-absorbed form of selenium.†
Research note:
In patients with severe selenium deficiency, hair color darkened after selenium levels were restored.
Iodine (Organic Kelp) 150mcg per serving
Essential Mineral · Thyroid
Your thyroid needs iodine to make thyroid hormone, which influences how hair follicles grow and produce pigment. Restore sources its iodine from organic kelp and pairs it with selenium, which your body needs to activate thyroid hormone. Together they support normal thyroid function.†
Research note:
In lab studies on human scalp hair follicles, thyroid hormones directly increased melanin production.
Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5) 50mg per serving
Essential Vitamin · Energy
Vitamin B5 is needed to make coenzyme A, a molecule at the center of how your cells turn food into energy. Hair follicles are among the most active tissues in the body, and producing pigment is energy-intensive work. B5 helps keep that energy supply steady.†
Research note:
Coenzyme A, built from vitamin B5, is required for cellular energy production throughout the body.
Frequently Asked Questions
Grow + Restore targets thinning and graying together. Restore drops the growth and DHT ingredients and focuses only on pigment: melanin building blocks plus a dedicated catalase support complex.
No. All three contain BioCopper1®. Choose the one that matches your main goal.
A hair strand's color is set as it grows. Look for changes in new growth at the root, not in existing strands.
Hair grows slowly, so give Restore at least several months of daily use before judging it. Consistency matters more than timing.
Yes. The pigment pathway works the same way in everyone.
