3 Benefits of Elastin
1. Improves skin elasticity, wrinkles, and blood flow
2. Chest drainage suppression
3. Improves ligament function

Hello. I'm a pharmacist Jinny.

 

Just a few years ago, when you think of skin-friendly ingredients, you probably think of collagen. As the skin-related benefits of elastin, the body's elastic protein, have begun to be widely studied, elastin has also become very popular. It is no exaggeration to say that it has now established itself as one of the top 2 ingredients in inner beauty along with collagen.

 

However, even if it is popular, or rather, the more popular it is, the more you need to study the ingredients. Therefore, today, we would like to summarize the typical benefits of elastin from the lesser-known to the lesser-known benefits at once.

 

1. Improves skin elasticity, wrinkles, and blood flow

The main reason why elastin is loved is that consumers who have consumed elastin express high satisfaction, saying that it has helped their skin elasticity. In fact, various studies have shown that elastin is a functional ingredient for skin care, and that oral elastin intake has a positive effect on overall skin condition.

 

A 2015 study concluded that bonito elastin hydrolysate had beneficial effects on skin condition by activating skin fibroblasts [1].

 

"Our double-blind, placebo-controlled study demonstrated that subjective assessments of skin elasticity, wrinkles, blood flow, and skin condition were improved by the intake of elastin hydrolysate. "

 

2. Chest drainage suppression

Like collagen, elastin is also broken down with age. As a result, we gradually feel that our skin is losing its elasticity. But this sagging doesn't just appear on the face. Since elastin is also distributed in the tissue called the Cooper ligament, which maintains the shape of the breasts, women in particular notice changes in the shape of their breasts as they enter middle age or after dieting.

 

Regarding this, a 2016 study studied the effects of oral intake of elastin on the drainage (sagging) of the breasts and reported as follows [2].

 

"These results suggest that elastin intake may inhibit diet-induced breast drainage and improve breast height. Breast skin elasticity measurement showed a significant improvement in the recovery rate indicating chest skin elasticity in the elastin 75 mg and 37.5 mg groups after 8 weeks of intake, but there was no significant change in the placebo group."

3. Improves ligament function

The benefits of oral elastin intake are not limited to skin elasticity. This is because elastin is also distributed in the aortic wall, ligaments, and many other tissues that need elasticity.

 

Therefore, various studies have been accumulated regarding the effect of elastin on vascular and ligament function. A 2015 study reported that in subjects with knee joint pain, elastin intake could improve ligament function, thereby reducing pain [3].

 

"JKOM questionnaire results (Fig. 3), visual analogue scale (VAS) showed a slight improvement in the elastin group and the elastin+glucosamine group compared to the placebo group for the sum of knee pain scores in "knee pain and stiffness", "state of daily living", and "usual activities", and after 12 weeks, a significant improvement was confirmed compared to the placebo group."

Today, we learned about elastin, which has become an absolute powerhouse in inner beauty. Even if it's already too famous, like elastin, or even if it's highly recommended by people around you, I recommend that you study it before you try it yourself.

 

I hope you have a healthy day in body and mind. It was Jinny.
