Carnosine - A completely natural substance
Carnosine is a dipeptide molecule made up form two amino acids
(L-histidine and β-alanine)

Carnosine, which is naturally found throughout the body, is one of the primary cell building substances which can regenerate the cell at the same time. It also has a role in taking care of communication between cells, so that our organism can work automatically.

There are currently over 900 carnosine studies published in the world.

Research is carried out by experts throughout many countries in the world, including MUDr. Michael Kučera - a czech physician of internal medicine, working since 1994 with prof. Dr. R. M. Baevski (Institute for Biomedical Problems of the Academy of Sciences of the Russian Federation) in the field of practical application of cosmic medicine, mostly in the area of prevention and enhancement of stress adaptation mechanisms. Research activities of Dr. Kučera - an internationally recognized expert on mitochondrial medicine - were awarded IMMA-Prize 2000 for clinically relevant results in this area.

Carnosine and its significance

In recent years, the attention and interest in the phenomenon of the properties of carnosine has been increasing. Carnosine is considered to be the substance of the century and it is believed to become a fundamental daily medicine for people of all ages, especially those over 40 years and older. Research projects related to carnosine are conducted in the USA, Australia, UK, Japan, Scandinavia, Russia and China, and it is recommended by aging specialists as a significant and valuable nutritional supplement.

Laboratory research on cell senescence (aging) - ie; the end of the life cycle of the two dividing cells, prove that obtained facts are not random. Carnosine has remarkable abilities to handle the cell senescence process, restore the cells' normal properties and prolong its lifespan. How can carnosine rejuvenate cells? Not all of the answers have been available, until now, but the properties of carnosine highlight the key mechanisms of cell and tissue aging - carnosine can protect against telomere shortening and DNA damage during cell replication.

In addition, a repertoire of beneficial influences on organisms was proven. Mechanisms of these effects are characterised by the following processes: Physiological (normal) concentrations (20-30 μM/l) in standard media prolongs the lifespan of human fibroblasts and strongly reduces their aging in vitro.

In laboratory animals, carnosine significantly improved their appearance and prolonged their lifespan.

Carnosine can therefore be very useful in the following age related diseases:

• Neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer and Parkinson´s diseases, epilepsy, depressive diseases, schizophrenia, epilepsy, mild cognitive impairment, various etiology dementia, conditions after stroke)
• Spectrum of autistic diseases (Asperger syndrome, ADHD, dyslexia and dyspraxia, Tourett´s syndrome etc.)
• cross-linking in the lens of the eye, cataract
• cross-linking in the skin collagen (skin aging),
• Glycation, the formation of molecular compounds of glucose with biomolecules, such as enzymes or proteins,
• Accumulation of damaged proteins,
• Muscular dystrophy,
• Cardiovascular diseases,
• Brain blood vessels disorders,
• Diabetes and its complications

Carnosine is the new multifunctional nutritional supplement.

It is a physiological and 100% natural super antioxidant with a spectrum of biological functions:

• It has a general-purpose and miscellaneous antioxidant activity,
• Enhances muscle vitality,
• Increases muscle performance,
• Speeds up exercise recovery
• Reduces cell damage caused by alcohol,
• It acts as a neurotransmitter in the brain and muscles.
