Description

What is Carnosine?

Carnosine is a dipeptide that is the N-(beta-alanyl) derivative of L-histidine. It has a role as an anticonvulsant, an antioxidant, an antineoplastic agent, a human metabolite, a Daphnia magna metabolite and a mouse metabolite. It is a conjugate acid of a carnosinate. It is a tautomer of a carnosine zwitterion.

	L-Carnosine is a naturally-occurring histidine-containing compound and the biological role of this dipeptide is to act as cytosolic buffering agents. Other roles ascribed to L-Carnosine include action s as neurotransmitters, modulation of enzymic activities and chelation of heavy metals.
	carnosine is an anti-oxidant that works to prevent cellular damage because of free radical activity. Studies indicate an ability to boost the immunological functions. Carnosine is a naturally occurring amino acid. In cosmetics, it has anti-aging and skin-conditioning applications.

L-Carnosine Benefits:

1. Anti-aging As a cosmetic raw material, it can effectively whiten skin and prevent skin aging. It is a natural antioxidant;

2. Protect cerebral vascular endothelial cells;

3. Enhance immunity and inhibit inflammatory response. It is used for cell anti-oxidation, maintains pH balance of the body and prolongs cell lifespan.
