Carnosine is a small peptide that contains two amino acids, beta- alanine and histidine. It is found in relatively high concentrations in several body tissues, most notably in skeletal muscles, heart muscles, and the brain. The remarkable thing is that these two amino acids work much more efficiently than they would have done if they hadn’t combined to form Carnosine in the first place. While still combined, it has the unique ability to rejuvenate cells – to make old cells younger and extend their life-cycle. May help the following health conditions – Carnosine boosts immunity and reduce inflammation, protecting the eye against cataract formation and other eye diseases, aids diabetics by reducing the effects of glucose damage and protein oxidation, also inhibits (or reverse) glycosylation and slow the damaging – and pro-ageing – effects of carbohydrate consumption. May protect against the formation of gastric ulcers, and help heal existing ulcers, assist with cardiovascular disorders as a powerful antioxidant, promotes wound healing, protects against radiation damage and reverse post-radiation syndrome, has potential applications for treating burns, wounds following surgery, or during nutritional preparation for surgery. May reduce or prevent cell damage caused by beta amyloid, the substance found in the brain of Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders. Great for increasing muscle strength and endurance as well.
Carnosine complexed with zinc and licorice for REFLUX.
Zinc is a critical component to a number of physiological processes in our bodies. Some of these functions include growth and metabolism of cells, healing of wounds, and maintenance of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. When zinc is complexed to L-carnosine, it dissociates in the stomach at a much slower rate. This prolonged presence in the stomach allows it to maintain its gastric healing effect over a longer period of time. Zinc/L-carnosine may also help maintain the bacterial balance of the stomach and GI tract. Studies suggest that the zinc/L-carnosine compound may have effects on certain strains of harmful bacteria, such as h. pylori, and, therefore, is able to help maintain a GI environment that is favorable to health. By supporting the bacterial balance in the stomach, it can also help maintain a healthy mucosal lining.
A randomized, multi-center, placebo-controlled, double-blind study observed 299 patients suffering with symptoms of gastric discomfort. These patients were randomly allocated to receive either: 1) a zinc/L-carnosine complex or a placebo or 2) a control drug or its placebo for eight weeks. Improvement ratings for a range of symptoms were taken at various points during the trial and compared with pre-treatment data. Of the 258 who completed the trial, 136 were in the zinc/L-carnosine group. After eight weeks, 92% of the group were rated as “moderately improved” or better across the category of symptoms, including heartburn, tenderness, epigastric pain, diarrhea, and constipation.
In another eight-week study, 28 patients with gastric discomfort were given a zinc/L-carnosine compound and monitored. Improvement was rated on a scale of subjective and objective symptoms. After four weeks, 68.4% were considered to be “significantly improved.” After eight weeks, the “significantly improved” rating was 68.8%. Over 60% of these patients remained in the “significantly improved” category well after the treatment was discontinued, suggesting a lasting effect of the zinc/L-carnosine compound beyond the time it is taken.
