    Studysummary In this study, researchers found that a mixture of Saccharina japonica and Undaria pinnatifida (L-U mixture) promoted hair growth in mice comparably to 3% minoxidil. The L-U mixture stimulated hair growth-promoting genes and suppressed hair loss-related genes, suggesting its potential for hair loss treatments.
