L-carnosine is a safe, stable amino acid intermediate (a dipeptide) which is naturally-occurring in the human body. L-carnosine stands out as one of the most promising multi-modal life extension discoveries of recent years. Although L-carnosine benefits the body in several ways, its most profound effect is extending the life of cells.

L-carnosine has been shown in studies to rejuvenate aging cells. In vitro (test tube) studies with human cells have shown that introduction of L-carnosine can rejuvenate late-passage (aged) cells, causing them to regain their youthful appearance.

L-carnosine benefits the body in other ways. It inhibits a process called glycation, which occurs when sugars bind to proteins to form glycated proteins. Glycated proteins significantly increase free radical formation and also increase cross linking with other proteins to create what are known as Advanced Glycation End Products (AGE’s).

AGE’s and free radicals disrupt normal cell function and the resulting damage is thought to be an important contributing factors in the development of such age related diseases such as atherosclerosis, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease and cataracts.

The daily dosage of L-carnosine is important. The body produces an enzyme called carnosinase, which breaks down carnosine. This necessitates the use of enough L-carnosine to ensure that the rate at which L-carnosine is ingested surpasses the enzyme’s capacity to break it down. By supplementing with at least 1000mg on a daily basis, one can obtain the amount necessary for L-carnosine to exhibit its important benefits.
