Product details:
Health benefits at a glance:

First of all, what is carnosine? It's a dipeptide, a natural antioxidant in the body as well as available through food. Carnosine is made of the two amino acids beta-alanine and L-histidine.

Although carnosine is naturally present, levels decrease with age. This anti-aging supplement contains 500 mg of carnosine to support longevity and exercise recovery.

Why it works:

Carnosine has the ability to suppress various aspects of aging and, as a result, delay some of the age-related conditions. It can promote overall health and recovery after workout, help the heart muscle contract more efficiently and inhibit glycation.

The science behind the product:

Carnosine: A key player in healthy aging

The dipeptide carnosine can help counteract glycation, a process linked to aging that damages proteins in the body. Glycation occurs when proteins or lipids bind with sugars in an uncontrolled, non-enzymatic way, leading to the formation of non-functional structures in the body.

The process of glycation can contribute to wrinkled skin. Research shows that carnosine can inhibit the formation of advanced glycation end products, AGEs. (1)

Protecting the membranes of muscle cell

Carnosine levels in muscle cells are closely linked to lifespan. (1,2) While muscle cells (myocytes) naturally contain high amounts of carnosine, these levels drop significantly with age – declining by 63% from age 10 to 70. (4) This reduction may contribute to age-related muscle loss and decreased function. 

Moreover, carnosine plays a role in heart muscle health by helping regulate calcium signaling in heart muscle cells. (5) 


Given these benefits, Carnosine is a valuable addition to any comprehensive nutritional regimen.
