Life Extension Carnosine Description
-
Carnosine is a multifunctional dipeptide made up of the amino acids beta-alanine and L-histidine.
-
It is also a naturally occurring antioxidant and potent glycation-inhibiting nutrient. Carnosine is found both in food as well as the human body.
-
Long-lived cells such as nerve cells (neurons) and muscle cells (myocytes) contain high levels of carnosine. But carnosine levels decline with age, making supplementation an essential part of your whole-body health program.
Carnosine is a dipeptide that can interfere with the glycation process, an underlying mechanism of aging that causes damage to the body's proteins. Glycation is the random, non-enzyme-controlled cross-linking of proteins or lipids with sugars to form non-functioning structures in the body.
The process of glycation can contribute to wrinkled skin. Carnosine has shown the ability to inhibit formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs).
Protects muscle cell membranes
Muscle levels of carnosine correlate with the maximum life spans of animals. While muscle cells (myocytes) contain high levels of carnosine, those levels decline with age.Muscle levels decline 63 percent from age 10 to age 70, which may account for the normal age-related decline in muscle mass and function.
Carnosine may also support heart muscle function by modulating calcium signaling in heart muscle cells.These benefits make carnosine an essential part of your comprehensive nutritional regimen.
-
Promotes healthy aging – Carnosine is a powerful compound with antioxidant properties. Its ability to fight oxidative stress and free radicals makes it especially valuable in any healthy aging regimen.
-
Supports exercise recovery – Proper muscle recovery post-workout is important for maintaining muscle health long term. Carnosine helps protect muscle cell membranes and promotes post-exercise muscle recovery.
-
Helps inhibit glycation – Glycation, the process of sugar molecules attaching to proteins, DNA and lipids, can lead to undesirable end products called AGEs. Carnosine helps inhibit this process.
