ELASTINE FORTE 500 MG

Elastine Forte is a dietary supplement specifically designed to address loss of skin elasticity, by acting on both the supply of elastin and the protection of existing fibers. Its new formula combines 500 mg of fish elastin hydrolysate and Japanese knotweed titrated to 90% resveratrol, i.e., 50 mg of resveratrol per daily dose.

This combination is significant. Hydrolyzed elastin, in the form of bioavailable peptides, promotes fibroblast proliferation and stimulates elastin synthesis in the skin. Resveratrol, on the other hand, acts upstream: a powerful antioxidant, it neutralizes oxidative stress that activates elastases, reduces the production of metalloproteinases (MMPs) that degrade the dermal matrix, and also stimulates collagen synthesis. The two active ingredients mutually reinforce each other, one providing the building blocks, the other preserving existing structures.

By supporting both elastin synthesis and antioxidant protection of the dermis, Elastine Forte helps to improve skin suppleness and elasticity, enhance skin hydration, and reduce the first visible signs of aging. Elastin peptides from fish hydrolysate have shown effects on skin elasticity, hydration, and firmness by stimulating fibroblast activity.

Resveratrol provides an complementary anti-aging dimension: it accelerates skin regeneration, limits the formation of AGEs through glycation, an often underestimated aging mechanism, and protects keratinocytes and fibroblasts from oxidative damage. The combined action of the two active ingredients thus covers several mechanisms of visible skin aging, beyond just elasticity.

Elastine Forte is primarily aimed at people who are beginning to notice a loss of skin tone and elasticity, generally from the first signs of aging. It is not exclusively for mature skin: integrated early, it can help preserve existing elastin fibers at a time when degradation begins to outpace natural renewal.

The product may also be of interest to people wishing to supplement an existing anti-aging regimen, particularly those who use collagen, with which elastin acts in direct synergy within the dermis. It is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, or for children without prior medical advice.

The dosage is simple: 3 capsules per day, for a 20-day program. This short, intensive routine format is suitable for regular use and can be repeated as needed. To enhance the results, Elastine Forte naturally combines with marine collagen; Biocyte's Collagen Max Marine is designed for this purpose, to combine the action on elasticity with a supply of type I/III collagen and hyaluronic acid. Topical treatments such as the anti-aging mask or lip mask from the Biocyte range can complement the external action.

There is no fixed minimum age for adults. In practice, Elastine Forte is relevant as soon as the first signs of loss of elasticity are perceived, which occurs at very different times depending on individuals, sun exposure, lifestyle, or skin history.

Elastin is one of the major structural proteins of the dermis, alongside collagen and hyaluronic acid. It gives the skin its ability to deform and then return to its original shape after stretching, a property so remarkable that elastin fibers are up to six times more elastic than rubber. Without it, the skin gradually loses the mechanical resilience that characterizes young and toned skin.

The problem is that elastin synthesis slows down significantly with age, and existing fibers degrade under the effect of oxidative stress, which activates elastases, enzymes specifically responsible for degrading elastin. This dual mechanism, less production and more degradation, explains why the skin gradually loses its natural bounce and begins to show lasting expression lines.

Loss of elasticity rarely appears suddenly. It sets in gradually, often from the earliest signs of aging: skin takes longer to bounce back after pressure, texture becomes less even, features loosen slightly in certain areas. These early signals are often perceived as skin that feels "tired" or lacking tone, before wrinkles become clearly established.

Over time, the lack of elastin combines with the loss of collagen and hyaluronic acid to accentuate overall skin sagging. Skin simultaneously loses firmness, suppleness and hydration, three interdependent parameters in dermal aging.

The combination addresses a mechanistic complementarity.Hydrolyzed elastin provides peptides directly usable by fibroblasts to stimulate the synthesis of cutaneous elastin. Resveratrol, on the other hand, acts as a protective agent: it inhibits oxidative stress responsible for activating elastases, enzymes that degrade elastin fibers. Simply supplying elastin without containing its degradation would be insufficient; it is the combination of these two actions that makes this formula effective throughout the entire life cycle of elastin fibers in the dermis.
