The Claim

Application of avian plumage collagen peptides (APCPs) promotes ex vivo human hair follicle elongation and new hair shaft formation, while in murine models it accelerates the transition from the telogen to anagen hair growth phase, prolongs anagen duration, and increases overall hair growth.

These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.

Cause and effect
1 study reviewed
In plain English

Using collagen peptides from bird feathers helps human hair follicles grow longer and form new hair strands in the lab, and in mice, it speeds up the hair growth cycle, leading to faster and more noticeable hair growth.

See the scientific wording

Application of avian plumage collagen peptides (APCPs) promotes the elongation of ex vivo human hair follicles and induces new hair shaft formation, while in mouse models it significantly accelerates the transition from the resting telogen phase to the growth anagen phase and prolongs anagen duration, resulting in measurable increases in hair growth.

What the research says

1 study
  1. Study: AP collagen peptides (APCPs) promote hair growth by activating the GSK‐3β/β‐catenin pathway and improve hair condition

    The study shows that applying these specific collagen peptides helps human hair follicles grow longer and start growing new hairs in the lab, while also speeding up the hair growth cycle in mice. This means the peptides effectively stimulate hair growth and improve hair health.
