    TLDR BFNB could be a promising treatment for hair growth.
    The study investigated the effects of BFNB, a formulation derived from Bacopa procumbens, on hair growth in C57BL/6 mice. The results showed that BFNB significantly increased pigmentation and hair growth, accelerated the follicular cycle phases, and increased the number of follicles, hair length, and diameter. This was achieved by enhancing the expression of growth factors EGF and FGF7, and activating the PI3K-AKT-β-catenin signaling pathway, which are crucial for hair regeneration. The study concluded that BFNB could be a promising therapeutic alternative for stimulating hair growth.
