{"product_id":"l-carnosine-50-mg-with-vitamin-e","title":"L-Carnosine (50 mg with Vitamin E)","description":"\u003cp\u003eCarnosine was isolated from meat extract in 1900 by a Russian chemist, which is where the name comes from — \u003cem\u003ecarnis\u003c\/em\u003e, flesh. It is a dipeptide, beta-alanine bonded to histidine, and it concentrates in the tissues that endure the most metabolic punishment: skeletal muscle, heart, and brain. Long-lived species tend to carry more of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts chemistry is unusual. Carnosine buffers acid in working muscle, chelates transition metals like copper and zinc, quenches free radicals, and — the property that draws the most attention — sacrificially binds reactive carbonyls, the sugar and aldehyde fragments that would otherwise cross-link proteins. In doing so it supports the body's normal defenses against oxidative and glycative stress.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVitamin E is included at 30 IU. It is the principal lipid-phase antioxidant, protecting membrane fatty acids where carnosine, being water-soluble, cannot reach. The pairing covers both compartments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarnosine is broken down in circulation by the enzyme carnosinase, so consistent daily intake matters more than a large single dose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHypoallergenic, with no diluents, binders, or fillers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e50 mg with 30 IU vitamin E · Available in 60 capsules\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThese statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
