L-Carnosine capsules, provided by Douglas
Laboratories, supply 500 mg of pure L-Carnosine. L-Carnosine is a naturally occurring dipeptide
comprised of the amino acids alanine and histidine. It is present in the body,
concentrated mainly in the brain, skeletal and heart muscles. While its exact
role in the body is not completely understood, it has demonstrated to be a
strong antioxidant in several animal studies. It is also thought carnosine may
participate in the regulation of enzyme activity and assist with the binding of
heavy metals in the body. Carnosine is also thought to play a role in the pH
regulation of lactic acid in the muscles during intense exercise, thereby
assisting exercise performance. L-Carnosine may be a useful dietary adjunct for
people who wish to supplement with this naturally occurring dipeptide. Adults take 1 capsule daily or as directed by
physician. No adverse side effects have been reported. Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct
light. Keep out of reach of children. Alabovskii VV, Boldyrev AA, Vinokurov AA, Gallant S,
