L-Carnosine is a dipeptide (two amino acids) commonly found in organs and tissues such as the brain, heart, skin, muscles, kidneys, and stomach.
L-carnosine can activate cells in human body and anti-aging through two mechanisms: inhibiting saccharification and protecting our cells from free radicals. The consequence of saccharification is that the cross-linking of sugar molecules and proteins will be uncontrolled (sugar molecules will stick to proteins), cell function loss and incomplete gene combination will accelerate aging.
L-Carnosine can also stabilize cell membranes and reduce brain lipid peroxidation, thereby preventing nerve and brain degeneration.
Synonyms:
N-B-ALANYL-L-HISTIDINE;H-BETA-ALA-HIS-OH;L-IGNOTINE;L-BETA-ALANINE HISTIDINE;L-CARNOSINE;B-ALANYL-L-HISTIDINE;BETA-A-H;BETA-ALANYL-L-HISTIDINE
β-dipeptide molecule composed of β-alanine and L-histidine, which exists in high concentration in vertebrate brain and skeletal muscle tissue, has the effects of anti-glycation, anti-oxidation, anti-aging, and promoting tissue cell formation. Carnosine supplementation also helps to prevent Alzheimer's disease, prevent stroke caused by blood clots and so on. In addition, carnosine can inhibit the formation of the end product of sugar oxidation AGEs, anti-saccharification, and lighten skin color, so it can be used as a raw material for skin care products.
1. L-carnosine can be used for cellular antioxidant, maintaining pH balance in the body, and prolonging cell lifespan.
2. L-carnosine has potential antioxidant and anti glycosylation activity; Prevent non enzymatic glycosylation and protein coupling induced by acetaldehyde. It is also a substrate for myopeptidase detection, which can maintain pH balance in the body and prolong cell life.
3. L-carnosine is a dipeptide with strong antioxidant and anti glycation activity; Block non enzymatic glycosylation and protein cross-linking induced by reactive aldehydes.
