Does anyone know where to get L-carnosine powder? Thank ya.
Let us know how it works. I've heard about such experiements but I haven't heard much feedbackI'd appreciate that. I'm looking for l-carnosine powder to mix with some oils and experiment with some rodents.
You guys do carry it as NOW foods has it and you carry NOW foods.Beta-Alanine is cheaper, but if you reallly want Carnosine I can look into it.
yes by the way I just got my order from your co and thanks for the free samples .Yeah, but DSADE Foods would be a cheaper just as effective version.
GREAT !! Thanks for purchasing..... feel free to ask me any questions you might have about the products if any occur.yes by the way I just got my order from your co and thanks for the free samples .
If I can find some powder I will definitely give it a run and let you know what happens. I've been thinking about this for a while. I'm gonna make it happen somehow. I'll let you know whats up in 5-6 weeks. If you find any l-carnosine powder definitely let me know.Let us know how it works. I've heard about such experiements but I haven't heard much feedback
Can you talk more about the experiment with the rodents, sounds interesting.I'd appreciate that. I'm looking for l-carnosine powder to mix with some oils and experiment with some rodents.

Carnosine, a histidine-containing dipeptide, is a potential treatment for Alzheimer's disease. There is evidence that carnosine prevents oxidation and glycation, both of which contribute to the crosslinking of proteins; and protein crosslinking promotes beta-amyloid plaque formation. It was previously shown that carnosine has anti-crosslinking activity, but it is not known which of the chemical constituents are responsible. We tested the individual amino acids in carnosine (beta-alanine, histidine) as well as modified forms of histidine (alpha-acetyl-histidine, 1-methyl-histidine) and methylated carnosine (anserine) using glycation-induced crosslinking of cytosolic aspartate aminotransferase as our model. beta-Alanine showed anti-crosslinking activity but less than that of carnosine, suggesting that the beta-amino group is required in preventing protein crosslinking. Interestingly, histidine, which has both alpha-amino and imidazolium groups, was more effective than carnosine. Acetylation of histidine's alpha-amino group or methylation of its imidazolium group abolished anti-crosslinking activity. Furthermore, methylation of carnosine's imidazolium group decreased its anti-crosslinking activity. The results suggest that histidine is the representative structure for an anti-crosslinking agent, containing the necessary functional groups for optimal protection against crosslinking agents. We propose that the imidazolium group of histidine or carnosine may stabilize adducts formed at the primary amino group.

Because he is looking to increase CARN for performance gains.Histidine is the active amino acid in carnosine. Why not just go with that
