L-Carnosine
Antioxidant dipeptide for cellular protection and anti-glycation. Natural histidine-containing dipeptide with potent free radical scavenging, metal chelation, and protein anti-glycation properties.
L-Carnosine (beta-alanyl-L-histidine, CAS 305-84-0) is a naturally occurring dipeptide (MW 226.23 Da) found abundantly in skeletal muscle, brain, and other excitable tissues. Composed of beta-alanine and L-histidine, it serves as a potent water-soluble antioxidant, anti-glycation agent, and pH buffer. Unlike enzymatic antioxidants, L-carnosine operates through direct chemical scavenging of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive carbonyl species (RCS), making it a critical component of cellular defense against oxidative stress, aging, and metabolic dysfunction.
