It is one of the most important new anti-aging supplements on the market, it is also already in use in Russia for many years, which was discovered more than 100 years ago. L- Carnosine is a 100% natural substance, a so called dipeptide, formed by 2 amino acids (histidine and alanine). It is often called a nueropeptide due to its brainprotective properties.

L-Carnosine is found naturally in healthy muscles, heart, brain, liver, kidneys and other tissues. The muscles contain about 20 µmol/g dry weight. The more the cell contains L-Carnosine, the longer is its lifespan. In the human body, the enzyme Carnosine synthetase forms Carnosine from amino acids- histidine and alanine. This reaction occurs mainly in the brain and in the musclulature.

Meat is the main dietary source Carnosine. High doses of Carnosine are necessary for the therapeutic effect because the body naturally degrades Carnosine with the enzyme Carnosinase. Absorption of Carnosine from food is 30 to 70% (depending on the amount of various amino acids in the meal). From the blood Carnosine moves into muscle, brain and other tissue.

L-Carnosine- An anti aging from inside out

One of the reasons why elder people and animals look different than younger ones has to do with the changes in the proteins of the body. Proteins are the substances responsible for the daily functioning of living organisms, which gives protein deterioration its dramatic impact on the body’s function and appearance. Many lines of research over the last decadehave converged on protein modification as a major pathway for aging and degenerative diseases. These modification result from oxidation (by free radicals) and interrelated processes such as protein- sugar reactions (glycation).


How does it work?

L- Carnosine works in a number of important ways:

Super Antioxidant- Protects cell from free radicals

It is a super antioxidant, which protects our cells from free radicals damage. L-Carnosine has been known as the most powerful antioxidant amongst others antioxidant.

Potent Cell Rejuvenator

Besides acting as a powerful antioxidant, L-Carnosine able to ‘repair’ damaged cells and restore its youthfulness and energy. When cells are rejuvenated, cells work better and its’ lifespan also extended.

Detoxifier

L- Carnosine is a toxic metal binder- it reacts with toxic by- products of our metabolism and eliminates them from the body. It stabilizes the cells, making them more resistant to injury, and boosts the immune system


Other benefits of L-Carnosine

* Improves cardiovascular health
* Prevent diabetes
* Prevent neurological and psychiatric disorders etc
