Application & Function
L-Carnosine was discovered by Russian chemist Gulevich along with carnitine. Studies in the UK, South Korea, Russia, and other countries have shown that creatine has strong antioxidant capacity and is beneficial to the human body. Carnosine has been proven to clear reactive oxygen species (ROS) and alpha - β unsaturated aldehydes formed by excessive oxidation of fatty acids on the cell membrane during oxidative stress.
L-Carnosine also have the function of protecting cell membranes, maintaining endocrine balance, antioxidation, reducing pigmentation, regulating immunity, as well as increasing skin elasticity, anti-aging, and nourishing the body.
1. Antioxidant effect: L-Carnosine has strong antioxidant capacity, which can effectively neutralize and eliminate free radicals that attack human cells, protect cells from damage, and thus delay aging. This is a good choice for people who want to maintain youthful skin.
2. Anti glycation effect: L-Carnosine can inhibit glycation reactions and prevent protein damage. It reacts with sugar molecules in advance to protect the skin from glycation, while also accelerating the metabolism of glycated proteins and restoring their original vitality. This effect helps maintain the health of the skin's connective tissue.
3. Tightening and lifting the skin: L-Carnosine can stimulate the synthesis of collagen and elastin in the lower layers of the skin, which are key to supporting skin elasticity and firmness. By increasing the content of these proteins, myopeptides can enhance skin elasticity and firmness, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
4. Protecting muscle tissue: L-Carnosine protects muscle tissue from damage by inhibiting protease activity and reducing free radical production, thereby improving athletic performance. This is a beneficial supplement for athletes or people who regularly engage in physical exercise.
5. Regulating immune function: L-Carnosine can regulate both cellular and humoral immunity, helping to maintain the balance and stability of the human immune system.
6. Promoting brain health: L-Carnosine can promote the synthesis of neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the brain, enhance brain information transmission function, help alleviate central fatigue, and improve brain function.
7. Nourish the body: L-Carnosine can nourish nerve endings and help nourish the brain's nerves. In addition, it also has the effect of improving myocardial metabolism.
8. Support cardiovascular health: L-Carnosine helps protect the cardiovascular system and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation.
9. Promoting wound healing: L-Carnosine helps promote wound healing, reduce inflammatory reactions, and accelerate tissue repair.
