Carnosine is a life-prolonging agent which is said to be not only completely safe and absolutely non-toxic, but due to protection and regeneration of proteins and lipids has also the potential to slow down aging processes. Carnosine is able to prolong the lifespan on the level of the cell and the organism – this is the tenor of those statements.
Our body consists essentially of proteins. Alterations and damages of proteins of the body are considered to be one of the main reasons for aging, as due to oxidation and interactions with sugars or aldehydes proteins during their aging process unfortunately have a tendency to destructive alterations. The altered proteins thereby accumulate in the body.
In examinations, Carnosine has now proved effective against all these kinds of undesired protein modifications. It is capable to “rejuvenate“ cells at a later stage of their lifecycle (appearance, lifespan). Scientists describe Carnosine as multipotent (antioxidative, anti-glycolysing, aldehyde-cutting, metal-chelating). That means that Carnosine is active in many tissues and organs and in different ways. Especially high amounts of Carnosine can be found in muscle cells (myocytes) as well as in nerve cells (neurons), both belonging to the macrobiotic cell groups.
It is a scientific fact that over the years our cells have only a limited ability to divide. After each division the cell approaches its death, which is fixed by genetic information in a certain number of cell divisions. In a series of experiments, scientists have proved at an Australian research institute that Carnosine stabilizes cells and gets a functioning status if they approach the aging stage. It can maintain a stable inner body environment which leads to a youthful appearance of the cells. By means of Carnosine, cells lived longer and showed a youthful appearance and tendency to growth.
The Carnosine level decreases with age. Thus, between the age of 10 and 70 years, the Carnosine values in the muscle decrease by 63%, which corresponds to the normal age-relating decrease of muscle mass and function. A supplement with Carnosine can consequently be the basis for a youthful appearance and for keeping cells young.
Carnosine is completely safe and absolutely non-toxic. It is especially advantageous that Carnosine is safe even if taken in high dosage, as the body would neutralize lower quantities of Carnosine. The enzyme carnosinase must be supplied with a larger quantity of Carnosine than it is finally able to neutralize, in order to have sufficient Carnosine available for the rest of the body. For this reason, a daily supplement of 1000 mg Carnosine is recommended.
Substances protecting and feeding functional life fundamentals with a safe conscience can be described as an agent for longevity. If, moreover, such substances naturally proven are able to prolong the lifespan of cells within the individually predetermined scale, they belong to each program having in mind a healthy prolongation of life.
Each capsule contains 500 mg pure high quality L-Carnosine.
