Carnosine

L-Carnosine (β-alanyl-L-histidine) is a naturally occurring dipeptide found in high concentrations in muscle and brain tissue. It functions as a powerful anti-glycation agent, antioxidant, pH buffer, and metal ion chelator. Research highlights its potential in anti-aging, neuroprotection, diabetic complications, and exercise performance.
