Carnosine 500 mg (60 caps)

A pioneer in sports nutrition - carnosine Discovered and isolated in Russia in 1900, carnosine proved itself as a dietary supplement for athletes around 1950, even though it only became better known in western countries at the beginning of the new millennium as a component of effective sports nutrition. The natural, endogenous substance is one of the so-called dipeptides, chemical compounds that are made up of two amino acids - in this case ß-alanine and L-histidine - and can be split back into two amino acids by hydrolysis. In humans, there is an increased concentration of carnosine both in the brain and in the muscles. In foods, carnosine is found most strongly in meat. Absorption takes place in the small intestine. When taking carnosine, it is often useful to combine it with taking zinc.
