Tag: Elastin synthesis

The human body does not absorb intact extracellular protein directly from food, but rather breaks down dietary protein into amino acids to build its own structural components. Knowing which foods supply these essential building blocks and cofactors is key to supporting your body's natural production of vital extracellular proteins, such as collagen and elastin.

According to research, skin's natural elastin production significantly declines after puberty. The protein that gives skin its ability to stretch and snap back, elastin diminishes with age, leading to visible sagging and wrinkles. This has sparked interest in oral products, but can you supplement elastin to restore this youthful bounce?
