L-Carnosine is a dipeptide consisting of two amino acids, β-alanine and L-histidine, a crystalline solid. Muscle and brain tissue contains a high concentration of carnosine. In the United Kingdom, South Korea, Russia and other countries have studies have shown that: Carnosine has a strong antioxidant capacity, beneficial to humans. Carnosine has been shown to scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) and alpha-beta-unsaturated aldehydes formed by excessive oxidation of fatty acids in cell membranes during oxidative stress.
