    🚨 The study is moderately relevant as it focuses on hair shaft elasticity and gloss, which relates to human hair and scalp health, but it does not directly address hair loss treatments or hormones affecting hair.
    Studysummary In this study, APC collagen peptides were observed to enhance hair elasticity and gloss in human hair follicles by increasing amino acid and lipid component levels, suggesting their potential benefits for improving hair qualities.
