    TLDR AP collagen peptides improve hair elasticity and gloss.
    The study examines the impact of AP collagen peptides (APCPs) on hair shaft elasticity and gloss, finding that APCPs enhance hair quality by increasing keratin expression and essential components like amino acids, bonded water, and lipids. APCPs improve hair elasticity and gloss by strengthening chemical bonds, increasing lipid content, and upregulating genes involved in hair growth. These effects suggest APCPs' potential in counteracting age-related declines in hair quality. However, the findings are based on ex vivo models, and further in vivo studies are necessary to confirm their clinical relevance.
