Carnosine (L-Carnosine)
Carnosine (also known as L-carnosine) is a dipeptide composed of the amino acids beta-alanine and L-histidine. Carnosine (L-Carnosine) is found in the brain, heart, skin, muscles, kidneys and stomach.
Carnosine (L-Carnosine) is naturally produced in the body by the enzyme carnosine synthetase. Carnosine (L-Carnosine) supports healthy aging and cellular rejuvenation by its effects on two mechanisms: glycosylation and FREE RADICAL DAMAGE. Glycosylation is the oxidation of protiens by glucose resulting in cross-linking of proteins and which is implicated in loss of cell function, genome integrity and accelerated aging.
Carnosine (L-Carnosine) also protects the aging process of the brain by retarding lipid peroxidation and stabalizing cell membranes.
Carnosine (L-Carnosine) is believed to offer many other benefits including longevity, Skin Rejuvenation, Muscle ageing, muscle disorders, Sexual Potency, Cataracts, Diabetes, Cardiovascular, Neurological and psychiatric disorders and other health benefits
