Carnosine Powder

What is carnosine?

Carnosine powder, scientifically known as β-alanyl-L-histidine, is a dipeptide composed of two amino acids, β-alanine and L-histidine. It is a crystalline solid that is widely found in muscle and brain tissue. It has a variety of biological activities and important physiological functions, including anti-oxidation, anti-glycation, and protection of cell membranes. Carnosine has been shown to remove reactive oxygen free radicals (ROS) and α-β unsaturated aldehydes formed by excessive oxidation of fatty acids in cell membranes during oxidative stress.

Advantages

1. It has good water solubility, which makes it effective in a variety of environments.
2. It has a small molecular weight, is easily absorbed and distributed in the body, and improves its bioavailability.
3. It has a wide range of health benefits and can effectively protect cells from free radicals and glycosylation.
4. As a bioactive substance, it shows high stability during storage and use, and is not easily invalidated by environmental changes.
5. Due to its small molecular weight and good water solubility, it can be effectively absorbed and utilized by the human body to play its various physiological functions.

Function

• It has strong antioxidant capacity, can remove free radicals in the body, and protect cells from oxidative stress.
• It can protect cell membranes and maintain the stability of cell membranes, which plays an important role in maintaining normal cell function.
• It helps maintain the balance of the endocrine system and has a certain regulatory effect on endocrine function.
• It regulates the function of the immune system, enhances immune response, and helps maintain the body's immune balance.
• It can protect mitochondrial function and reduce the damage of mitochondria to oxidative stress, thus having an anti-aging effect.
• It can promote the production of collagen and enhance skin elasticity. It is often used in skin care products to help reduce skin pigmentation and make the skin whiter and more elastic.
• It can improve insulin resistance and blood sugar levels, and may have a positive effect on preventing type 2 diabetes. At the same time, it can also accelerate the glycation process, prevent protein damage, and help protect the skin's tissue cells.
• It can inhibit protease activity and reduce the production of free radicals, thereby protecting muscle tissue from damage and improving athletic performance.
• It can promote the synthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the brain, enhance the brain's information transmission function, and help relieve central fatigue.

Anti-aging mechanism

Free radical scavenging and anti-oxidation

It can directly quench free radicals, and through the histidine residues on its side chain as hydrogen receptors, it can capture hydroxyl radicals, single oxygen and hydrogen peroxide radicals, thereby protecting cells from oxidative damage.

Reduce mitochondrial function damage

Mitochondria are an important site for the production of free radicals. The accumulation of excessive free radicals can cause mitochondrial DNA mutations, which in turn affects the energy supply of cells. By protecting mitochondrial function and inhibiting the production of free radicals, the aging process is delayed.

Inhibit telomere shortening

Telomeres are repeated DNA sequences at the ends of chromosomes, and their length is proportional to the number of cell divisions. With age, telomeres gradually shorten, leading to cell aging. It can activate telomerase and inhibit telomere shortening, thereby delaying aging.

Anti-glycosylation

Glycation is an important factor in skin aging. It can prevent protein glycosylation cross-linking by providing an amino group to compete with proteins for binding to sugar groups, thereby restoring skin elasticity and brightening the skin tone.

Restore vitality of aging cells

It can delay the aging process and restore the vitality of already aged cells, which is essential for maintaining overall health and youthful appearance.

Applications

Cosmetics: Mainly used in anti-aging products, by inhibiting the glycation process, preventing collagen cross-linking, inhibiting lipid oxidation caused by free radicals and metal ions, effectively removing active carbonyl substances, and slowing down the aging process.

Food: As a food additive, it is used to improve the flavor of meat, inhibit fat oxidation, protect meat color, and improve the oxidative stability of skeletal muscle.‌‌
