TLDR Oregonin from alder tree branches may help control hair cell death, potentially aiding hair growth and treating hair loss.
In 2018, researchers Gyeong Hwa Lee, Kwang Hyun Park, and Sun Eun Choi conducted a study on the effects of Oregonin, a compound derived from the branches of Alnus japonica, on human hair dermal papilla cell apoptosis. The study found that Oregonin had a modulative effect on the apoptosis of these cells, suggesting potential benefits for hair growth and the treatment of hair loss conditions. The specific mechanisms and extent of these effects were not detailed in the summary.
