L-Carnosine Overview
Carnosine supplements like this 500 mg capsule from Jarrow are relatively new to the supplement market. You'll usually find carnosine in the amino acid section, but carnosine is a technically a peptide consisting of two paired amino acids. Carnosine has several unique benefits and its used as an ingredient in many different types of formulas from blood sugar formulas to preworkout blends. But as standalone supplement, carnosine is establishing its niche in the anti-aging category. With its high quality and reasonable cost, Jarrow L-Carnosine is a great addition to your anti-aging nutritional protocol, too.
What's so special about L-carnosine? L-carnosine inhibits the formation of a type of metabolic waste (ironically abbreviated AGEs) that irreversibly damages body tissue and greatly contributes to the functional and cosmetic changes we associate with aging. AGEs form when blood borne proteins combine with sugars, resulting in a non-functional compound not easily eliminated by the body. Take at least 1000 mg of Jarrow L-carnosine at each dose, though, lower doses are likely to be enzymatically degraded in the bloodstream.
