Brief Answer:
you can use Altris gel

Detailed Answer:
Hello Mr XXXXXXX
Welcome again
Greying of beard and bodily hair is not a disease entity and there is no pinpoint treatment for it.

Melanocytes present in hair root is a color forming cells which continously secrete colors into hair shaft, these cells stop functioning during ageing process after 30 to 35 years of age.
This process is further facilitated by Stress, dietary imbalances, substance abuse or long term illness.

Now comes to prevention and treatment
Melitane containing gel ( commercially available as Altris gel) is available in the market. It contains a peptide which stimulates the Melanocytes and stops further graying.

In addition to that a hair cream (Q SERA BLACK) is also available which contains phytic acid, amino acid peptides and Acetyl Hexapeptide-1.
It protects hair from UV rays causing structural damage to hairs and prevents graying.
You should consult a skin specialist for further guidance and long term follow up.

Hope this answers your question
