April 2019 in “Archives of Dermatological Research” This study found that bovine lactoferrin promotes hair growth in mice by enhancing dermal papilla cell proliferation through the Erk/Akt and Wnt signaling pathways.
July 2026 in “Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology” Bovine colostrum may improve hair and skin health.
April 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” In this study, bovine milk-derived oligosaccharides were found to increase sebocyte proliferation, lipid content, and inflammatory mediator synthesis through the mTORC1 pathway, potentially contributing to milk-based inflammation in sebocytes.
May 2026 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” In this review, researchers explore the roles of lactoferrin in skin and hair health, highlighting its potential anti-inflammatory and regenerative benefits despite the lack of well-controlled clinical trials for hair-specific outcomes.
