Salmon nasal cartilage proteoglycan stimulates hair growth

In this study, hair growth was enhanced by daily oral ingestion of salmon nasal cartilage proteoglycan (PG) in mice. PG stimulated VEGF production in human follicle dermal papilla cells through IGF-1 receptor signaling, suggesting the possibility of hair loss improvement by PG ingestion.PMID:37881018 | DOI:10.1093/bbb/zbad149
