Carnosine

Other names: Carnosine, B-Alanyl-L-Histidine

Harm score: 2 (Derivatives of natural substances)


Carnosine, sometimes also called Carnosine or B-Alanyl-L-Histidine, is a naturally occurring dipeptide made up of the amino acids L-histidine and beta-alanine. Carnosine plays an important role in various physiological processes in the body. It is found primarily in muscle tissue and the brain, where it acts as a powerful antioxidant that protects cellular structures from free radical damage. In addition, Carnosine is also an important regulator of acidity in muscle cells, which is of great importance in sports performance.

In the cosmetic industry, Carnosine is used as a component of a number of skin care products, especially in anti-wrinkle creams. Thanks to its antioxidant properties, it helps to slow down the aging process of the skin. In the food industry, Carnosine is used as an additive to increase the shelf life and quality of meat and fish products, as it helps to stabilise and preserve their colour, taste and texture. It is also added to some dietary supplements and sports drinks to improve muscle recovery, increase stamina and strength. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is then used as an active ingredient in drugs designed to treat diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases, as it can help slow the progression of these diseases.
