L-Carnosine, sometimes called simply carnosine, is a combination of two amino acids, alanine and histidine. So it is known scientifically as beta-alanyl-L-histidine.
L-Carnosine acts as an anti-oxidant, a substance that neutralizes free radicals.
The specific uses of l-carnosine include support for the skin, joints and digestive system.
1. L-Carnosine is the most effective anti-carbonylation agent yet discovered. (Carbonylation is a pathological step in the age- related degradation of the body proteins. )Carnosine helps to prevent skin collagen cross-linking which leads to loss of elasticity and wrinkles.
2. L-Carnosine 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. L-Carnosine is a Super Anti Oxidant 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).
