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.

L 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.
