The Mystery of the Skin's ‘Spring’ | Recombinant Humanised Elastin

Elastin: The Key to Keeping Your Skin Looking Young

Structure and Function of Elastin

The peptide chain of elastin contains more than 713 amino acid residues, of which non-polar amino acids account for 95%, glycine content is close to 1/3 of the total amount, proline accounts for 10%, and hydroxyproline accounts for 1%. The intermolecular cross-linking of elastin is more complex than that of collagen, forming an elastic-rich mesh structure through cross-linking involving lysine residues. Elastin is closely linked to collagen fibres in the skin and intertwines with each other to give the skin good flexibility.

Recombinant humanised elastin

promotes elastic fibre assembly and synthesis for firmness and elasticity.

Elastin: assembles into elastic fibres, which together with collagen fibres are the source of skin elasticity.

Elastin Protein (ELP) assembles to form Elastatin Fibres, an important component of the connective tissue of the human body, giving elasticity and firmness to tissues and organs such as the skin, blood vessels and lungs.

In the normal structure of the skin, elastin, in synergy with collagen, is a key functional protein that provides the source of elasticity to the skin tissue, and therefore has an important role to play in skin care products that focus on firming and elasticity.

Why do we need to supplement elastin? Just like an umbrella can't be built without a frame and a house can't be built without rebar, the role of elastin in the human body is crucial. Here are a few key roles of elastin supplementation:

Activates fibroblasts in the dermis of the body: elastin stimulates fibroblasts in the dermis and promotes their activity, thus contributing to the health of the skin.

Improves skin elasticity and suppleness, fades wrinkles: elastin increases the elasticity and suppleness of the skin, reduces the formation of wrinkles and makes the skin look younger.

Promotes ligament cell proliferation and increases joint stability: elastin helps ligament cell proliferation, thus increasing joint stability and reducing joint problems.

Consolidate and restore sports function and inhibit ligament ossification: Elastin can consolidate and restore sports function, inhibit ligament ossification and prevent sports injury.

Enhance the elasticity of blood vessels and ease the aging of blood vessels: elastin can enhance the elasticity of blood vessels, slow down the aging of blood vessels and prevent cardiovascular diseases.

>>Overall:

Elastin is an indispensable protein in our body that keeps the skin elastic and supple, and also maintains the shape and function of other organs and tissues.

Elastin coexists with collagen in a bundle, like a mattress, where collagen is the sponge and elastin is the spring used to support the sponge and keep the mattress flexible.
