health
Carnosine is a small molecule composed of the amino acids histidine and alanine.
Carnosine is found in relatively high concentrations in several body tissues—most
notably in skeletal muscle, heart muscle, nerve tissue and brain. The exact biological
role of carnosine is not well understood, but many studies indicate that carnosine has
antioxidant potential. Carnosine may also act as a neurotransmitter (chemical messenger in
the nervous system). Carnosine generates nitric oxide better than Arginine. Nitric oxide
helps dilate blood vessels. L-Carnosine is a dipeptide composed of the covalently bonded amino
acids alanine and histidine and is found in the brain, heart, skin,
muscles, kidneys and stomach. L-Carnosine is naturally produced in the
body by the enzyme carnosine synthetase. Another nutrient to consider is
acetylcysteine, which has its own
benefits, particularly as a liver detoxifier.

body by the enzyme carnosine synthetase.
L-Carnosine supports healthy aging and cellular rejuvenation by its
effects on two mechanisms: Glycosylation and Free Radical Damage.
Glycosylation is the oxidation of proteins by glucose resulting in
cross-linking of proteins and which is implicated in loss of cell
function, genome integrity and accelerated aging.
L Carnosine also protects the aging process of the brain by retarding
lipid peroxidation and stabilizing cell membranes.

L Carnosine (alanylhistidine) - 500 mg per pill
Carnosine benefit:
Carnosine may be helpful in children with autism.
The dose would be much less than in adults.
From the day she was born, Betty seemed
different from other infants. At an age when most infants enjoy interacting with
people and exploring their environment, Betty sat motionless in her crib and
didn't respond to rattles or other toys. It wasn’t too long before Betty was
diagnosed with autism. Unfortunately, modern medicine has little to offer as a
cure for this condition. But supplements may be helpful. Researchers at the
Autism and Epilepsy Specialty Services in Lake Bluff, Illinois, investigated 31
children with autism in an 8-week, double-blinded study to determine if carnosine would result in changes. Carnosine is a natural substance composed of
2 amino acids. It is found in relatively high concentrations in several body
tissues, muscles, and nerve tissue, including the brain. The exact role of
carnosine is not well understood, but studies indicate that this nutrient has
antioxidant potential and may also act as a neurotransmitter (chemical messenger
in the nervous system). The children received 800 mg of carnosine a day and were
compared with a group of children on placebo. After 8 weeks, children given
carnosine showed statistically significant improvements on several tests
including an improvement in vocabulary and recognizing a picture.
Comments: Carnosine, also known as L-carnosine,
is sold in health food stores most commonly in capsules of 500 mg. It would be
worthwhile to try 100 to 200 mg of this nutrient before breakfast and lunch for
a few weeks under a pediatrician’s supervision.

Carnosine helpful in Vegetarians and Diabetic Nephropathy
In recent years
l-carnosine has
been getting more respect. This nutrient, made of 2 amino acids, alanine
and histadine, is gradually getting a reputation as a powerful natural
antioxidant. Unfortunately, carnosine is hardly found in a vegetarian
diet. Hence, those who don't eat meat products may benefit from taking
this nutrient as a supplement. A recent study also points to l carnosine
being potentially helpful in diabetic nephropathy (kidney failure) by
preventing damage from high sugar levels.
Most l-carnosine capsules are sold in 500
mg. One option is to take carnosine as a supplement two or three times a
week, in the morning. This nutrient has a mild mood balancing effect.
Another option is to take half a capsule three or four times a week.
Carnosine as anti-aging supplement
L-Carnosine supports healthy aging and cellular rejuvenation by its
effects on two mechanisms: Glycosylation and free radical damage. Glycosylation is the oxidation of proteins by glucose resulting in
cross-linking of proteins and which is implicated in loss of cell
function, genome integrity and accelerated aging.
L-Carnosine also protects the aging process of the brain by retarding
lipid peroxidation and stabilizing cell membranes.
Use of carnosine as a natural anti-senescence drug for human beings.
Wang AM, Ma C, Xie ZH, Shen F.Biochemistry (Mosc) 2000 Jul;65(7):869-71.
Department of Biochemistry, Harbin Medical University, Harbin 150086, PR China.
Carnosine is an endogenous free-radical scavenger. The latest research indicates
that apart from the function of protecting cells from oxidation-induced stress damage,
carnosine appears to be able to extend the lifespan of cultured cells, rejuvenate
senescent cells, inhibit the toxic effects of amyloid peptide (A beta), malondialdehyde,
and hypochlorite to cells, inhibit glycosylation of proteins and protein-DNA and
protein-protein cross-linking, and maintain cellular homeostasis. Also, carnosine seems to
delay the impairment of eyesight with aging, effectively preventing and treating senile
cataract and other age-related diseases. Therefore, carnosine may be applied to human
being as a drug against aging.
Side effects
Very high dosages of carnosine can cause nausea and excessive alertness and
energy, but, as a rule, few adverse effects are reported on dosage less than 500
mg.

Carnosine supplement pill
questions
I have read the information about carnosine supplement pills on your web site and see where it
is composed of the amino acids alanine and histidine. My question is if you are
taking a protein supplement which contains these 2 amino acids (L-alanine-563
mg.) and (L-Histidine-574 mg.) per serving would that be comparable to taking
the Carnosine supplement?
When ingesting the two amino acids separately, there is no
guarantee that the body will combine them together. They may just be digested
and broken down for use as fuel or be incorporated into other peptides or
proteins.
My son of three has been diagnosed to be on the
autistic spectrum, and will be starting a combination of speech and occupational
therapy; as part of a special educational program. We believe he is highly
functional as he started recognizing letters and reading words at the age of
2.5. Recently, me and my wife read about carnosine supplement use for autism,
and we are eager to try if our son will be benefiting from it. I have the
following questions before we proceed with administering carnosine supplements:
If he responds to carnosine, will it be a temporary relief for his autistic
behavior, or is it a cure? Should we use it in conjunction with his behavioral
therapy sessions? Do we need to have his pediatrician oversee its
administration, are there any monitoring tests that we need to do to avoid
possible adverse effects? How long should he stay on carnosine, and how is the
withdrawal process? Any dependencies or drawback effects?
Very little is known about the use of carnosine supplements in
the treatment of children with autism. We suggest that his pediatrician monitor
and oversee the use of carnosine. If there is any help for autistic symptoms
with the use of carnosine, it is likely to be temporary. Most carnosine pills
come in 500 mg and it is best to start with low dosages of about a quarter or a
fifth of a capsule. Capsules can be opened by pulling on each end and the
contents mixed with water or juice. Long term side effects of the use of
carnosine is children is not known, and risks can be minimized by using lower
dosages. Research with the use of carnosine supplements in humans is quite
limited and there is much that is still not known.
I came upon your site searching for data on carnosin
supplements. I'm a shiatsu therapist and lifewave nanno-tech. patches
distributor. The company promotes anty aging patches which enhance carnosin
production in the body. i have been able to help a patient of mine who claims to
expierience a slowing down in the desease"s progression. He is 65 was diagnosed
two years ago. I started treating him mainly for welbeeing, with a combination
of shiatsu, tweena and physical exersices. Do you have any information on
carnosin supplement use and Parkinson's disease?
Carnosine is a potent antioxidant and may be
helpful for Parkinson's disease.
Is there a carnosine study that shows any interactions
with herbal pills for sexual enhancement such as
tribulus terrestris
extract or other such aphrodisiac pills?
We have not seen such studies. Whenever combining
several supplements, it is best to reduce their dosage in order to avoid
carnosine side
effects.
I was sent an email by a friend regarding carnosine for longevity
enhancement. Is it true that taking this pill can enhance longevity?
No such studies are available, but this nutrient has
many health benefits and perhaps low dosages could someday be found to to have
beneficial properties in terms of lifespan.
