Carnosine
Extreme® is a dipeptide that protects
protein integrity. Carnosine, also known as L-Carnosine
may be the essential peptide nutrient for anti-aging. Carnosine,
very significantly protects proteins and has an impact on
visible anti-aging, increases stamina for athletes, increases
fast twitch muscles (reaction time), reduces tissue cross-linking
and glycation, helps heal ulcers and speeds wound healing,
reduces the possibility of cataracts and improves eye health,
improves brain health by chelating out dangerous copper,
zinc and plaque accumulations, and powerful unique anti-oxidant.
Although, Carnosine has
been known about for over a hundred years, it is the research
that has been conducted over the last ten years that has
pointed to its outstanding anti-aging properties. We know
that cells that contain significant amounts to sufficient
amounts of carnosine are healthy cells and also the longest-lived
cells. The highest concentrations are found in the brain,
cardiac muscles and skeletal muscles. The more Carnosine
in skeletal muscles, the longer a person lives. This may
prove to be an effective bio-marker for aging. Protein degradation
either from oxidation or glycation is a primary cause of
aging (AGEs – advanced glycation end products). Carnosine
in the body declines approximately 63% from the age of 10
years to 70 years of age. Carnosine is significantly depleted
following stress and trauma. This may help explain the higher
complications and mortality of individuals as we age after
stressful and traumatic events.
Carnosine has so many youthful
benefits it almost seems difficult to see how one simple
dipeptide can have such a tremendous effect on rejuvenating
the body. Carnosine has an outstanding ability to rejuvenate
old cells (senescence cells) into healthy cells. It has
always been thought that old cells could not be rejuvenated
until Carnosine was studied. It currently appears that most
cells can only divide so many times, but the higher the
Carnosine levels the more times cells can divide. Therefore,
the healthier we can keep the cells by keeping older cells
from aging as fast, the longer the time between cell divisions,
the longer life can be.
