Biological Activity: L-Carnosine is a dipeptide composed of beta-alanine and histidine. L-Carnosine is an endogenous metabolite found in human brain, muscle and gastrointestinal tissues and is present in all vertebrates. L-Carnosine is a non-enzymatic free radical scavenger and natural antioxidant with anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties that can inhibit biochemical changes associated with aging[1][2][3].

Cat. No. Product Name Purity Description
HY-W013494 L-Carnosine 99.94% L-Carnosine is a dipeptide composed of beta-alanine and histidine. L-Carnosine is an endogenous metabolite found in human brain, muscle and gastrointestinal tissues and is present in all vertebrates. L-Carnosine is a non-enzymatic free radical scavenger and natural antioxidant with anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties that can inhibit biochemical changes associated with aging.
HY-W013494R L-Carnosine (Standard) ≥98% L-Carnosine (Standard) is the analytical standard of L-Carnosine. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. L-Carnosine is a dipeptide of the amino acids beta-alanine and histidine and has the potential to suppress many of the biochemical changes that accompany aging. In Vitro: L-Carnosine is a dipeptide of the amino acids beta-alanine and histidine and has the potential to suppress many of the biochemical changes that accompany aging.
L-Carnosine also exhibits some antioxidant effects. The antioxidant mechanism of L-Carnosine is attributed to its chelating effect against metal ions, superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity, and ROS and free radicals scavenging ability.
