L-Carnosine (beta-alanyl-L-histidine) is a dipeptide of the amino acids beta-alanine and histidine. It is highly concentrated in muscle and brain tissues.
L-Carnosine and carnitine were discovered by Russian chemist V.Gulevich.Researchers in Britain,South Korea,Russiaand other countries have shown that carnosine has a number of antioxidant properties that may be beneficial. Carnosine has been proven to scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) as well as alpha-beta unsaturatedaldehydes formed from peroxidation of cell membrane fatty acids during oxidative stress. Carnosine is also a zwitterion, a neutral molecule with a positive and negative end. Like carnitine, carnosine is composed of the root word carn, meaning flesh, alluding to its prevalence in animal protein. A vegetarian (especially vegan) diet is deficient in adequate carnosine, compared to levels found in a standard diet.

Description | • blocks the nonenzymatic glycosylation and protein cross-linking process induced by reactive aldehydes • has anti-aging capabilities • possesses strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties • is linked with improved muscle function and athletic performance |
1. L-carnosine is the most effective antioxidant found so far. Carnosine helps inhibit the most destructive free radicals and prevents skin collagen from cross-linking, which can lead to loss of elasticity and wrinkles. Carnosine helps to chelate ionic metals and expel toxins from the body.
2. L-carnosine can be used as a regulator of zinc and copper concentrations in nerve cells, helping to prevent excessive stimulation of these neuroactive substances in the body.
1. Used in the field of healthy food.
2. Used in the field of health care products.
