Elastin Protein Powder

Elastin is an important component of skin composition. Elastin is only 5% in the skin, but it is the key to stimulate the formation of collagen and elastin. 70% of the skin's collagen determines the skin's suppleness and elasticity. Firming elasticity, while 90% of elastic fibers are composed of elastin. Therefore, elastin is the skin of youth.

Product Description of Elastin Protein powder

Elastin is a water-insoluble, highly cross-linked hydrolyzed protein. Elastin molecules account for 95% of non-polar amino acids, glycine content is close to 1/3 of total, proline accounts for 10%, and hydroxyproline accounts for 1%. Two forms of elastin have been found: elastin I In the presence of the ligament, aorta and skin, elastin II is available from cartilage. Pure elastin is light yellow and blue (under UV light). Acid and alkali hydrolysis. Below 100 ° C is insoluble in a variety of hydrogen bond cleavage solvents, and swelling occurs. Insoluble in phenolic solvents. It is insoluble in any solvent except for the cleavage of the peptide bond. Elastin is a polymeric substance with rubber ductility and low modulus of elasticity in the presence of water.

Like collagen, elastin is also rich in glycine and proline, but unlike collagen, elastin is not highly hydroxylated and has no hydroxylysine. The cross-linking between the lysine residues forms a covalent bond, and the cross-linked network formed by them can produce elasticity by a change in configuration.

Although collagen can give strength and toughness to the extracellular matrix, it also needs to be elastic for some tissues. This is especially true for tissues such as the lungs and heart. This elasticity is mainly dependent on the elastic fibers in the extracellular matrix. Elastic fiber, like a rubber band, can stretch to several times its normal length and return to its original length when contracted. The elasticity of the tissue is controlled by varying the amount of collagen dispersed in the elastic fibers.

The elastin fiber network imparts elasticity to the tissue, and the stretchability of the elastic fibers is at least 5 times greater than that of the rubber strip of the same cross-sectional area.

Elastin constitutes elastic fibers, which are rubber-like elastic fibers that can be stretched several times and can be restored as it is the main factor of connective tissue elasticity. Therefore, he has the reputation of 'human rubber'. Elastic fibers coexist with collagen fibers, giving the tissue elasticity and tensile strength. Elastin distribution is not extensive in collagen, but is also abundant in tissues, such as elastic tissues, lungs, aorta, certain ligaments, skin and ear cartilage, etc.

Health Benefits:

The elasticity of the skin depends on the elastic fibers in the layers of our skin. It is equivalent to an infinite number of rubber bands that support the elastic web of skin tissue. And 90% of the elastic fiber is composed of elastin, so the amount of elastin determines the elasticity of the skin and whether wrinkles appear. However, the elastin in the skin is not static, and the reduction of elastin is an important cause of skin aging.

If you have both elastin and collagen in your skin care products, it will be very good for keeping your skin young, delicate and elastic.
