Powerful Nutrient called Carnosine
Proteins are the building blocks of life. Comprising amino acid chains, proteins serve both structural and functional roles within the human body. Structural proteins such as collagen give support to bones, tendons, and skin, while functional proteins known as enzymes catalyze life-sustaining biochemical reactions throughout the body.
As we age, however, these critical proteins are endangered by the damaging process known as glycation.
Defined as a non-enzymatic reaction between proteins and sugars, glycation irreversibly alters the configuration of proteins. These altered proteins, known as advanced glycation end products (AGEs), can no longer effectively fulfil their critical roles throughout the body. AGEs have been implicated in many of the diseases associated with aging, including Alzheimer’s, cancer, and heart disease.
Fortunately, a powerful nutrient called Carnosine helps defend the body’s proteins against the crippling effects of glycation.
By preventing the formation of dangerous AGEs, Carnosine may help the body’s proteins retain their youthful vigor and function.
Moreover, studies demonstrate that Carnosine is also a powerful antioxidant. Carnosine’s age-defying effects make this critical nutrient an essential cornerstone of every anti-aging program.
Carnosine’s Protective Effects: Inhibiting the formation of AGEs and associated molecules is thus an essential part of any anti-aging protocol. According to a paper on how AGEs affect aging, “Inhibition of AGE/ALE formation is a reasonable target for life-span extension for several reasons.
- First, if damage to protein reflects damage to DNA, then inhibition of AGE/ALE formation . . . should limit damage and mutation in DNA, leading to an increase in maximum life span.
- Second, accumulation of AGE/ALEs in proteins is associated with a number of age-related, chronic diseases. . . inhibition of AGE/ALE formation might delay the progression pathology in these diseases, thereby improving the quality of life in old age . . .
- Third, another consideration is that inhibition of AGE/ALE formation might also limit secondary oxidative damage to biomolecules.”
While several promising experimental drugs are being used to combat AGEs, none of these is available to the general public. Fortunately,aging adults have ready access to a unique nutrient—Carnosine—that protects against the ravages of oxidative damage while inhibiting the formation of AGEs.
Carnosine is a safe, well-tolerated compound comprising the amino acids beta-alanine and L-histidine. Naturally present in high concentrations in human brain and skeletal muscle tissue, Carnosine has been shown in multiple studies to inhibit lipid peroxidation and free radical-induced cellular damage.
Additional evidence suggests that Carnosine may help protect the brain against oxygen deprivation, delay the impairment of eyesight with aging, and extend the life span of mammals.
In addition, scientists have now shown that Carnosine can effectively inhibit AGE formation and protein cross-linking. Because it is able to both stop the oxidative damage of free radicals and inhibit AGE formation, scientists have postulated that Carnosine may have applications in the management of numerous conditions, including arthritis, stomach and duodenal ulcers, high blood pressure, adrenal cortical dysfunction, sleep apnea, chronic inflammation, cancer, heart disease, and Alzheimer’s disease.
