L-Carnosine

CAS NO.: 22-401-4
Introduction:
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 has been proven to scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) as well as alpha-beta unsaturated aldehydes formed from peroxidation of cell membrane fatty acids during oxidative stress. L-Carnosine was found to inhibit diabetic nephropathy by protecting the podocytes and mesangial cells. L-Carnosine containing products are also used in topical preparations to reduce wrinkles on the skin.
Uses:
Studies after studies have shown that L-carnosine is a potent weapon used in the battle against aging and degenerative disease. Studies after studies have shown that L-carnosine is a potent weapon used in the battle against aging and degenerative disease.
