Life Extension Carnosine, 500mg

Key features
- 500mg of carnosine per capsule
- Carnosine is built from beta-alanine and L-histidine
- A naturally occurring antioxidant
- Found in food and in the human body
- Supplied as vcaps
Carnosine is present in high concentrations in long-lived cells such as muscle cells and nerve cells. Levels in muscle tend to drop considerably with age. The compound is also known for its interest in relation to glycation, a process where sugars attach to proteins or fats and form non-functioning structures.
Because carnosine is found mainly in meat and fish, some people choose a supplement to top up their intake.
Available in a pot of 60 vcaps.
