L-Carnosine Amino Acid
L-Carnosine Amino Acid
L-Carnosine is a dipeptide, which is a combination of two
covalently bonded amino acids, in this case alanine and
histidine. It naturally occurs in high concentrations in
skeletal muscle tissue, and therefore may support muscle
vitality. L-Carnosine also works as an antioxidant that
stabilizes cellular membranes, shielding them from damage by
free radicals.
L-Carnosine appears to be the most effective anti-carbonylation
agent yet discovered. It has the amazing ability to revitalize
cells approaching senescence (the end of the life cycle of
dividing cells), restoring normal appearance and extending
cellular lifespan. L-Carnosine has the potential to revitalize
connective tissue cells and thus to benefit wound healing. It
can defend cellular DNA from oxidative harm that accumulates
with age. It enables the heart muscle to contract more
efficiently through enhancement of calcium response in heart
myocytes.
L-Carnosine can help in preventing skin collagen cross-linking
which leads to loss of wrinkles, elasticity, macro- molecular
disorganization, and loss of extracellular matrix. Because
L-Carnosine is only found in vertebrates, it is especially
important for persons who do not consume beef, pork or chicken.
