January 2024 in “Fermentation” This study found that fermenting porcine and equine placentas with a specific lactic acid bacterial strain enhanced the moisturizing abilities and cell proliferation properties compared to traditional placental extracts, suggesting their potential for cosmetic applications.
February 2026 in “PubMed” This study compared porcine-derived placental biomaterials with human-derived counterparts in a rat model of skin injuries and found no significant statistical differences in healing outcomes; however, porcine-derived materials showed reduced early inflammation and faster crust formation, suggesting potential advantages in healing effectiveness.

September 2025 in “Food Science and Biotechnology” This study found that Placenderm®, a porcine placenta peptide, may promote hair follicle regeneration and enhance hair growth in mice by balancing growth-promoting and inhibitory factors.
In this 24-week study, oral supplementation with hydrolyzed low-molecular-weight porcine placental peptides significantly improved scalp elasticity, hair diameter, tensile strength, surface roughness, and luster compared to placebo, suggesting its potential as a nutritional intervention for age-related scalp and hair changes.
