Hair Growth Promoting Effect of Black Soybean Extract In Vitro and In Vivo
December 2011
in “Korean Journal of Food Science and Technology”
TLDR Black soybean extract helps promote hair growth and could prevent hair loss.
The study conducted 12 years ago evaluated the hair growth promoting effect of black soybean (Glycine max: BB) both in vitro and in vivo. It was observed that BB significantly stimulated dermal papillae and NIH3T3 cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. In a shaving model of C57BL/6 mice, BB markedly promoted hair growth and also improved blood total antioxidant capacity while reducing lipid peroxidation and triglyceride level. These results suggested that BB has a hair growth promoting effect and could be a potent candidate for the prevention of hair loss.
