Melanin is depleted over the years by the decrease in vitamins, mainly vitamin b, or malnourishment. If you eat a healthy diet with lots of vitamins that are vital to the body, and the producing of Melanin, you won't have to worry about your hair turning white or grey with age because of the lack of Melanin that usually colors you hair.

(Melanin is the pigmented substance that colors your skin and hair.)

What destroys melanin vesicles after they no longer needed?

Melanin vesicles, or melanosomes, are destroyed through a process called autophagy, where cellular components are degraded and recycled. When melanin production is no longer required, cells recognize the excess melanosomes and target them for elimination. Lysosomes, which contain enzymes that break down cellular debris, play a key role in this degradation process. This ensures that cellular homeostasis is maintained and prevents the accumulation of unnecessary melanin.


What does melanophages mean?

These cells play a role in the body's immune response by clearing excess melanin and debris, helping to maintain skin health.
