Takahara's disease, also known as Takahara syndrome, is characterized by a deficiency in the enzyme catalase, which is crucial for breaking down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The absence of catalase can lead to the accumulation of hydrogen peroxide in the body, resulting in oxidative stress and damage to cells. This condition may cause various symptoms, including increased susceptibility to infections and other health complications. Understanding and managing the effects of this enzyme deficiency is important for improving the quality of life for affected individuals.

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.
