Life Extension Super Carnosine 500mg 60caps - Antioxidant & Anti-aging properties Carnosine is a natural constituent of our body that is present in the muscles and the brain and has antiglucosylation properties. It reacts with sugars before they adhere to the collagen and elastin fibers, and creates glycosylated carnosine, which is naturally eliminated by the body. Carnosine levels decrease with age. At the level of the muscles, the decrease starts at the age of 10 years, while at the age of 70 it has reached 63%, which may contribute to the loss of muscle mass and muscle function. Features It treats and prevents oxidative damage, reinforcing skin support structures. (Thus, the skin retains its elasticity and becomes more durable over time, preventing the appearance of new wrinkles). It acts as a barrier to PH, protecting the membranes of muscle cells from oxidation under the particularly "acidic" conditions created by muscle function. It allows the heart muscle to work more effectively, enhancing the calcium response in the heart muscle cells. The combination of taurine, carnosine, benfothiamine (the only synthetic variant of B1) and vitamin B1 provides a versatile protection against the accelerated aging caused by glycosylation. Ingredients Thiamine (vitamin B1) (as thiamine HCl) 50 mg L-carnosine 500 mg Benfotiamine 50 mg Luteolin [fruit extract] 4 mg Dosage and Use Take one (1) capsule, two to three times a day with or without food, or as recommended by the responsible physician.
