TLDR Exosomes from bovine colostrum may be effective for hair growth and slowing hair loss.
The study investigates the effects of two commercial products containing exosomes on hair growth and regeneration in human hair follicle cultures. One product uses exosomes and proteins from stem cells derived from the umbilical cord lining, while the other contains exosomes from bovine colostrum, loaded with growth factors and cytokines. Results showed that the bovine colostrum-derived exosomes significantly enhanced hair bulb growth and dermal papilla regeneration compared to the stem cell-derived exosomes, which performed similarly to untreated controls. This suggests that exosomes from bovine colostrum could be effective in slowing hair loss and promoting new hair growth.
