L-Carnosine (Standard)

L-Carnosine (Standard) is the analytical standard of L-Carnosine. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. L-Carnosine is a dipeptide of the amino acids beta-alanine and histidine and has the potential to suppress many of the biochemical changes that accompany aging. In Vitro: L-Carnosine is a dipeptide of the amino acids beta-alanine and histidine and has the potential to suppress many of the biochemical changes that accompany aging[1]. L-Carnosine also exhibits some antioxidant effects. The antioxidant mechanism of L-Carnosine is attributed to its chelating effect against metal ions, superoxide dismutase (SOD) -like activity, and ROS and free radicals scavenging ability[2].
