Carnosine

What is carnosine supplement ?

Carnosine (L-Carnosine), scientific name β-alanyl-L-histidine, is a dipeptide composed of two amino acids β-alanine and L-histidine, crystalline solid. Muscle and brain tissue contain very high concentrations of carnosine. Carnosine was discovered by Russian chemist Gurevich along with carnitine. Studies in the United Kingdom, South Korea, Russia and other countries have shown that carnosine has strong antioxidant capacity and is beneficial to the human body. Carnosine has been shown to scavenge reactive oxygen radicals (ROS) and α-β unsaturated aldehydes formed during oxidative stress by overoxidizing fatty acids in cell membranes. Although a large amount of carnosine is already contained in a meal of red meat, because carnosinase is rapidly degraded after entering the body, it is not enough for a person to consume red meat alone, and not everyone can maintain a high frequency of daily intake. Therefore, if you want to have the protection of carnosine for a long time, you can supplement your intake by oral or external cosmetic supplements.

Chemical Characterization of carnosine supplement

Functions of carnosine supplement

1. Carnosine can replace the reaction between protein and sugar in the body by reacting with sugar before the sugar erodes the skin, thereby helping to protect the protein from being glycosylated and achieving the effect of anti-glycation.

2. Carnosine can scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) and prevent the peroxidation of cell membrane fatty acids during oxidative stress. At the same time, it also has a strong anti-aging effect.

3. Carnosine can prolong the regeneration cycle of fibroblasts, so that the continuous production of collagen and elastin. The value of carnosine is not only reflected in health care conditioning, skin care and anti-aging. In medicine, carnosine can also prevent, prevent Alzheimer's disease, prevent nerve and brain degeneration.
