Product Description

What is N-Acetyl Carnosine?

N-Acetylcarnosine (NAC) is a naturally occurring compound chemically related to the dipeptide carnosine. The NAC molecular structure is identical to carnosine with the exception that it carries an additional acetyl group. The acetylation makes NAC more resistant to degradation by carnosinase, an enzyme that breaks down carnosine to its constituent amino acids, beta-alanine and histidine.

Function of N-Acetyl Carnosine

N-acetyl-L-Carnosine (NAC) is a natural imidazole-containing dipeptide that has antioxidant activities in cells, particularly against lipid peroxidation. N-Acety I Carnosine is a dipeptide of the amino acids beta-alanine and histidine. It is highly concentrated in muscle and brain tissues. Carnosine has been proven to scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) as well as alpha-beta unsaturatedaldehydes formed from peroxidation of cell membrane fatty acids during oxidative stress. Carnosine is also a zwitterion, a neutral molecule with a positive and negative end. Like carnitine, carnosine is composed of the root word carn,meaning flesh, alluding to its prevalence in animal protein. A vegetarian (especially vegan) diet is deficient in adequate carnosine, compared to levels found in a standard diet. Carnosine can chelate divalent metal ions. Carnosine can increase the Hayflick limit in human fibroblasts,as well as appearing to reduce the telomere shortening rate. Carnosine is also considered as a geroprotector.

Function and Application

Funcaiton：

1.L-Carnosine powder is the most effective anti-carbonylation agent yet discovered. (Carbonylation is a pathological step in the age- related degradation of the body proteins. )Carnosine helps to prevent skin collagen cross-linking which leads to loss of elasticity and wrinkles.
2 .L-carnosine powder also acts as a regulator of zinc and copper concentrations in nerve cells, helping to prevent
overstimulation by these neuroactive in the body substantiates all of the above and other studies have indicated further benefits.
3.L-Carnosine powder is a SuperAntiOxidant that quenches even the most destructive free radicals: The hydroxyl and the peroxylradicals, superoxide, and singlet oxygen. Carnosine helps to chelate ionic metals(flush toxins from the body)
