Glossary Procyanidin Oligomers

naturally occurring plant compounds that promote hair growth

Procyanidin oligomers are naturally occurring compounds found in certain plants, such as apples and grapes. They are a type of polyphenol, which are known for their antioxidant properties. Research has shown that procyanidin oligomers can promote hair growth by stimulating hair follicles and extending the growth phase of the hair cycle.
