Key features

- Includes a trio of additional nutrients that complement carnosine
- Supplied in vcaps
Muscle cells naturally hold high levels of carnosine, but the amount tends to fall as we get older. Carnosine is also found in meat and fish, so people who eat little of these foods may have lower intakes. As a pH buffer, carnosine helps manage the acidic conditions that build up in working muscles. Glycation, a reaction between sugars and proteins, is another area of carnosine research. This capsule provides a straightforward way to include it in a daily routine.
Available in a pot of 60 vcaps.
