About Carnosine

A dipeptide of beta-alanine and histidine that buffers cellular stress and glycation—sold as an oral supplement.

Carnosine acts as an antioxidant and anti-glycation agent in muscle and brain tissue. Oral supplementation aims to support exercise recovery and cognitive aging, though absorption of intact carnosine is debated (the body may break it down to beta-alanine). Topical carnosine also appears in anti-aging skin care.
