What is Carnosine Powder?

Carnosine powder is known scientifically as beta-alanyl-L-histidine. It is composed of one molecule each of the amino acids histidine and beta-alanine, and is therefore known chemically as a dipeptide. The L form, or isomer, of carnosine is biologically active in humans. It is generally found throughout the bodies of animals, although is most concentrated in the brain and muscles.

It is readily available in animal protein, especially red meat. It is not present in plants, so strict vegetarians don’t receive l-carnosine from dietary sources. The blood plasma level of l-carnosine drops to zero within several hours of eating red meat, indicating that l-carnosine is metabolized rapidly despite the relatively slow digestion of protein. This property means that the effects of l-carnosine are probably short-lived.
