It has been shown, that as a person ages, they tend to make less of the enzyme Catalase than they used to. This results in the increase of hydrogen peroxide, which in turn leads to the hair going grey and eventually white. There are people who are trying to turn grey, (or white), hair back to it's former color with Catalase supplementation, either by taking a vitamin supplement or by eating foods rich in Catalase, but as of January 4, 2011; there is no proven way to restore hair color by increasing the amount of Catalase consumed.

Has anyone restored the color of their grey white hair using the enzyme Catalase?

Not as of November 5, 2010. Catalase supplements and foods containing catalase have not been shown to restore the color of hair that has gone grey or white. Maybe in the future, there will be a catalase supplement that can restore hair color, but, as of today, there is no proven catalase supplement to restore hair color.
