In the aspect of firming and elastic support, it can replenishes the supportive effect of depleted elastic fibres in the skin, improving skin firmness, elasticity and suppleness as well as alleviating sagging.
In the aspect of deep hydration and moisture retention, due to its excellent moisture absorption and film-forming properties, it forms a breathable protective layer atop the skin to minimise transepidermal water loss.
In the aspect of hair and scalp conditions, it can repair damaged cuticles and deliver silky texture, anti-static performance and enhanced lustre to hair in shampoos and hair care formulations.
In the aspect of sports nutrition and muscle recovery, since hydrolysed elastin undergoes pre-digestion, its dipeptides and tripeptides can be absorbed by the intestinal peptide transporter PepT1 within the intestinal tract. After exercise, supplementation with this ingredient rapidly raises blood amino acid concentrations, accelerates muscle protein synthesis (MPS) and notably shortens recovery periods following high-intensity training.
In the aspect of joint and bone health, hydrolyzed elastin provides essential amino acid nutrition to articular cartilage, ligaments and tendons. Besides, when paired with chondroitin sulphate and glucosamine, it helps to repair cartilage matrix and protects joint lubrication and mobility. Therefore, it is very suitable for elderly consumers and active sports participants.
In the aspect of gut health and medical nutrition, due to its low allergenic potential and minimal gastrointestinal digestive strain, it provides rapid nutritional support while supporting intestinal mucosal repair. It suits seniors with compromised digestive function, post-operative patients, infants sensitive to intact milk protein and other vulnerable groups.

In the aspect of hard or soft capsules, the recommended dosage of high-purity hydrolyzed elastin is approximately 50mg-200mg per day. Dosage per capsule or tablet is 20 mg-100 mg; recommended daily dosage: 50 mg ~200mg per day (about two tablets).
In the aspect of powders or sachets or protein shakes, it divides two parts, these examples are the following:
For sports nutrition products, such as hydrolyzed whey protein and soy protein, the single serving amount for reconstitution is 20g-35g that meets the protein threshold for muscle synthesis post-exercise; the recommended daily intake is 25g-60g.
For oral beauty and joint support formulations, such as high-dose collagen peptide complex powder, the dosage per sachet or single serving is 3g-10g (Note: Collagen peptides serve as the primary component, with hydrolysed elastin peptides typically incorporated at 50 mg -200 mg per serving.); the recommended daily intake is 3g-10g.
In the aspect of liquid drinks or shots, it divides two parts, these examples are the following:
For oral beauty shot bottles (standard volume: 30 ml-50 ml per unit), with small-molecule collagen peptides acting as the core carrier of active ingredients, per shot is 3000mg-10000mg or 3g-10g. Hydrolyzed elastin peptides that supports viscosity control of oral liquids is 50mg-200mg per shot; sodium hyaluronate that seems a beauty ingredient is 10mg- 50mg per shot.
In the aspect of sports energy and recovery shots (50 ml-100 ml per unit), for example, hydrolyzed whey protein peptides or BCAA peptides that focuses on rapid absorption and explosive energy supply is 5 g -15 g per shot.
