Suggested Use: 1-3 capsules per day, in divided doses, between meals.
l-Carnosine – Pure Encapsulations L-carnosine acts as a protective antioxidant for cellular structures against oxidation damage. This unique amino acid dipeptide is used to support levels of carnosine in our muscles, which declines with age and those with chronic degenerative disorders. Researchers are discovering the importance of this product for protecting against degenerative diseases like alzheimers, and age related diabetes. Recent research suggests supplementation for athletes may improve performance and recovery, as well as some early research being conducted with children with autism and the positive effects of carnosine with brain development.
What Is It?
l-Carnosine (beta-alanyl-L-histidine) occurs naturally in the body’s muscle and nervous tissues and is formed by the amino acids alanine and histidine. Levels of this dipeptide can decline with age. The primary context of support for l-carnosine involves cellular longevity support.*
Uses For l-Carnosine
Antioxidant Support: l-Carnosine is a water-soluble antioxidant with well-documented free-radical scavenging activity and is believed to promote cell health and cell longevity. In vitro experiments show carnosine to be a potent scavenger of peroxyl and hydroxyl radicals. Carnosine may also help to maintain superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. SOD is an important antioxidant enzyme.*
Cellular Support: In vitro, it helps to protect proteins from the formation of advanced glycosylation end-products. These end-products are formed when aldehydes (such as aldose and ketose sugars) and lipid peroxidation by-products bind to vital proteins and compromise their function. l-Carnosine also plays a role in protecting DNA from the effects of acetaldehyde and formaldehyde.*
Nervous System Support: l-Carnosine may help to maintain healthy peptide metabolism in the brain, supporting neuronal cell health.*
Cardiovascular Support: Its membrane-stabilizing properties maintain healthy lactate dehydrogenase activity of cardiovascular cells, providing a protective effect.*
Muscular Support: The concentration of l-carnosine in muscle may prove to be an important factor in high-intensity exercise performance based on a recent human study.*
Liver Support: A preliminary animal study shows carnosine has the potential to support healthy liver function.*
What Is The Source? l-Carnosine is synthetically produced.
