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.
Avegetarian (especially vegan) diet is deficient in adequate carnosine, compared to levels found in a standard diet.
Carnosine can increase the Hayflick limit in human fibroblasts,as well as appearing to reduce the telomere shortening
rate. Carnosine is also considered as a geroprotector.
L-Carnosine has the following applications/functions:
Anti-oxidant, anti-free radical
1.The main effect of carnosine on the skin is anti-aging, antioxidant and free radicals. Another full-time function of carnosine is to prevent free radical damage, especially to protect the lipid components of cell membranes, so carnosine is a stabilizer and protector of cell membranes . If the cell membrane is damaged, it is like a balloon being punched-nothing is useful. Carnosine not only protects the cell membrane, but also protects the mitochondrial membrane inside the cell. Can be used as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent. It can be used as an antioxidant to neutralize and relieve free radicals that attack our DNA cells. It can help chelate metal ions (toxins out of the body).
2.Carnosine also has a balanced distribution of nutrients, maintains the normal metabolism of the skin, fills the skin, affects the texture and appearance of the skin, accelerates the discharge of skin metabolites, maintains a uniform skin tone, purifies the skin, and maintains the normal internal circulation of the skin. The skin vomits the old and absorbs the new, beautiful and free to breathe, enhancing the skin's own resistance and self-healing power. In addition, carnosine has a significant inhibitory effect on lipid oxidation caused by free radicals and metal ions. In meat processing, carnosine can inhibit fat oxidation and protect meat color. Carnosine and phytic acid resist beef oxidation. It can improve flesh color and increase the oxidative stability of skeletal muscle, and has a synergistic effect with vitamin E, which has a good effect on human intake.
1.Carnosine helps to prevent skin collagen cross-linking which leads to loss of elasticity and wrinkles.
2 .Lcarnosine powder also acts as a regulator of zinc and copper concentrations in nerve cells, helping to prevent
overstimulation by these neuroactive in the body substantiates all of the above and other studies have indicated
further benefits.
3.LCarnosine is a SuperAntiOxidant that quenches even the most destructive free radicals: The hydroxyl and the
peroxyl radicals,superoxide, and singlet oxygen. Carnosine helps to chelate ionic metals(flush toxins from the body).
