Carnosine is a substance found naturally in the human body.

L-carnosine is the main active ingredient of the product Karnozin Extra.

Its greatest concentration is in the brain, heart and muscle tissues.

Viewed from the chemical point, carnosine is dipeptide composed of two amino acids (β-alanine and L-histidine).

Karnozin Extra has a unique formulation and specificity of action, which cannot be compared to other products containing carnosine available on the market. This means that its utilization in the body is complete, and the duration of action is 8-12h.

With its action, Carnosine significantly facilitates normal functioning of the cell.

It can rejuvenate the cell in its process of aging and thus regain its normal function and prolong its life.
Carnosine effectively works against processes that lead to deterioration or change in the structure of cells, preventing the formation and development of various diseases. Some of these processes have been created by the effect of free radicals, which carnosine, as a powerful antioxidant, eliminates. Furthermore, carnosine has the inhibitory effect on the glycation process (binding of glucose to protein), which prevents the occurrence of the complications of diabetes, such as cataract, atherosclerosis or reducing the renal function. Similarly, it influences the carbonylation process (binding proteins to carbonyl groups), which leads to the disturbance of protein structure and gradually to their complete destruction. Equally important is the chelating ability (carnosine is able to expel from the body heavy metals such as copper, zinc, iron, and toxic metals such as arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium, and nickel).

Because of its action in the brain, carnosine is known as a neuropeptide, substance that keeps nerve cells and has a role in the transmission of nerve impulses (neurotransmitter).

Karnozin Extra is a completely natural product that posses doping-free certification obtained from the World Anti-Doping Organization in Cologne, Germany.

Because of its effects, carnosine has become very interesting to scientists all over the world. In Russia it has been used for over 100 years and there is also a growing interest in carnosine in Western countries.

Did you know? The unique formula of KarnozinExtra product guarantees the high efficiency of carnosine in the body i.e in mitochondria. It was developed after more than 15 years of research, with the aim of achieving 100% efficiency of carnosine in the body of the recipient.
Around 2300 scientific studies were published on PubMed on the subject of carnosine.
All those research have been wraped up in plain English (and 7 other languages) in Karnopedia portal
