What is EGF and what does it do?
EGF powder(Epidermal Growth Factor), also known as "human oligopeptide-1", is a protein composed of 53 amino acids with a molecular weight of about 6000 Daltons, and exists naturally in the human body.
EGF has excellent biological activity, and its performance can be maximized by maintaining a complete three-dimensional structure. Improper storage or high temperature will cause it to lose its activity.
This substance is a medical ingredient, and its use in skin care products is limited based on safety considerations.

What is the function of the EGF protein?
1. EGF can play a role in skin repair and growth promotion. It can promote the division, growth and proliferation of epidermal cells, promote metabolism, and enhance cell activity.
2. EGF can stimulate cell proliferation, including epidermal cells and endothelial cells.
3. Promote the synthesis of hyaluronic acid and glycoprotein, repair collagen fibers, and promote the synthesis of collagen and collagenase.
4. Repair superficial epidermal fibroblasts and enhance their function.
5. Enhance cell absorption of nutrients.
6. EGF can increase the content of collagen and cell DNA in the wound surface, so it plays a role in promoting the healing of skin and mucosal wounds, and has a certain anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect.
Application in the medical field.
