Elastin is a crucial protein in connective tissue that allows many tissues in the body, such as skin, lungs, and arteries, to stretch and recoil. It provides elasticity and resilience to these tissues. As we age, elastin production naturally decreases, leading to wrinkles, sagging skin, and reduced elasticity in other tissues.
