STRONG TENSOR

Hydroxyproline is an amino acid naturally present in the body, where it is one of the major components of collagen. It acts as an essential precursor for the synthesis of this structural protein, which maintains and supports the structure of the dermis. Biocyte's Tenseur Forteprovides a high dose of 1000 mg of hydroxyproline per day, a quantity that aims to provide the body with the raw material necessary for collagen production, rather than acting directly on the skin in isolation.

By supporting the structure of the dermis through its role in collagen synthesis, hydroxyproline is associated with supporting skin firmness and improved skin elasticity. This mechanism underpins the action of Tenseur Forteon the entire body, with a particular focus on the facial oval, whose contours may appear better defined when the underlying dermal structure is supported. These effects are part of a progressive timeline, specific to collagen renewal, and not an immediate result.

Hydroxyproline, collagen and firmness: what's the connection?
Collagen is a protein largely composed of three amino acids, including hydroxyproline, which gives it its structural stability. A supply of hydroxyproline therefore provides the body with one of the building blocks necessary for the synthesis of this protein.

Since skin firmness directly depends on the quality and density of the collagen network in the dermis, this link justifies the interest in this amino acid for skin support, without guaranteeing a uniform effect from one person to another.

Tenseur Forte is designed for anyone dealing with skin laxity, whether on the face or the body as a whole. It is particularly suited to periods following significant weight loss or postpartum, two situations in which the skin must adapt to a rapid change in body volume.
It may also appeal to those going through menopause, a period marked by hormonal changes that affect skin quality, as well as those noticing the first signs of aging or simply looking to add a firming treatment to an overall beauty routine.

The most opportune time to start a routine depends on the individual situation. Postpartum, after breastfeeding has completely stopped, or after significant weight loss, it is generally advisable to start as soon as the situation allows, as the skin needs time to regain its tone. For preventive use or as part of a beauty routine, a routine can be initiated at the first signs of sagging, without waiting for them to become pronounced.

The recommended dosage is 2 capsules per day, to be taken with a meal and a large glass of water. Taking it with a meal promotes digestive comfort and is part of a simple routine to maintain over time.

The routine should preferably be followed for 3 months. This duration corresponds to the time needed for collagen renewal in the dermis, a gradual process that does not produce an immediate effect. Consistency in daily intake is therefore essential, as irregular consumption does not maintain the continuous supply of hydroxyproline required for this process.

Several habits reinforce the consistency of a Tenseur Forte routine. Sufficient hydration supports the skin's overall balance, while regular physical activity promotes circulation and skin tone. Adequate protein intake complements the supply of hydroxyproline, as collagen requires several amino acids for its synthesis. Sun protection limits the degradation of existing collagen, a major factor in skin laxity, and quality sleep supports the skin's natural regeneration processes.
