L-Carnosine Powder

L-Carnosine Powder

L-carnosine is naturally found in the brain, skeletal muscles, heart, and other innervated tissues and organs. It is a dipeptide made up of two amino acids, histidine and beta alanine. Discovered by a Russian chemist named Vladimiar Gulevich, L-carnosine is also found in various food sources, primarily meat, which is why vegetarians and vegans tend to have lower levels of carnosine.

However, even in those with normal levels, carnosine supplementation may help to support brain health and longevity.*

L-Carnosine Uses and Benefits

L-carnosine is most popular as a pre-workout supplement. Athletes and bodybuilders use carnosine for its potential to boost power output, build muscle, and support muscle fatigue.* Carnosine may also regulate the burning sensation caused by lactic acid buildup in the muscles.*

L-carnosine may have metabolic supporting properties as well as support overall brain health.*

Some studies found that carnosine also extended the life of human cells in cultures.*

How L-Carnosine Powder Works

Carnosine mainly acts as an acid buffer. It is stored in cells and released when your body experiences a drop in pH. This reduced pH can occur from excess ketone production during ketosis.

Carnosine may also act as a buffer for muscle tissues to prevent the excessive buildup of hydrogen ions.* These tend to accumulate during physical exertion. Hydrogen ions can alter the pH levels in muscles, leading to muscular acidosis.

L-Carnosine Dosage

As a dietary supplement, take 500mg of L-Carnosine Powder 1-2 times daily.
