L-Carnosine
"A substance that protects and extends the functional life of the body's key building blocks—cells, proteins, DNA, lipids—can be fairly called an agent of longevity. When that agent is safe, naturally present in the body and in food, and has demonstrated prolongation of life span in animals and cultured human cells, it is fundamental to any life extension program. Mounting research suggests that carnosine has just such anti-aging potential. "

L-Carnosine is a dipeptide of the amino acides beta-alanine and histidine. It is a well know ROS scavenger which is found in high concentrations in the muscle and brain tissues. It is known to rejuvenate cells and is a key anti-aging agent. It is effective against a number of protein modifications to include oxidation, carbonylation, cross-linking and AGE formation. It is one of the few antioxidants to significantly protect chromosomes from oxidative damage.
When present, L-Carnosine has cell life extending properties and is well known to extend the life span of cells as they approach the Hayflick limit. L-Carnosine is able to reverse the signs of aging cells and is a telomere protector. In lab testing cells treated with L-Carnosine had a cell division increase of an astounding 300%. Studies have shown that rats treated with L-Carnosine have significantly reduced outward signs of old age and are twice as likely to achieve their maximum age.
L-Carnosine is noted to protect against alcohol induced liver damage, it protects the brain and is used in some seizure disorders. It helps wounds heal more quickly and is useful in helping people recover from the side effects of chemotherapy. L-Carnosine is known to protect the cardiovascular system and is a strong neuroprotector.
