Benefits of long-term use of Carnosine EXTRA

Long-term use of the six-component supplement Carnosine Extra, which includes carnosine and other active ingredients (Coenzyme Q10, Vitamin E, L-carnitine, grape vine extract, and blueberry extract), can provide a wide range of scientifically proven health benefits.

Here are the key benefits, supported by scientific studies and references:

Immune Support and Anti-Inflammatory Effects

Carnosine has shown the ability to protect the liver from toxins and improve its function. For individuals with liver diseases such as Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC), it may help maintain healthy liver function and slow disease progression.
Study: Boldyrev, A. A. et al. (2013) highlights the protective effects of carnosine on the liver and its role in preventing liver damage.

Improving liver function

Carnosine has shown the ability to protect the liver from toxic substances and improve its function. People with liver diseases such as primary biliary cholangitis (PBC)* may benefit from carnosine in maintaining healthy liver function and slowing the progression of the disease.
Study: Boldyrev, A. A. et al. (2013) describes the protective effects of carnosine on the liver and its role in preventing liver damage .

Increased energy level

Carnosine enhances mitochondrial function, leading to better cellular energy production. This can result in improved physical endurance and reduced fatigue, particularly beneficial for individuals with chronic fatigue syndrome or low energy levels.
Study: Derave, W. et al. (2010) shows that higher carnosine levels in muscles improve performance and recovery.

Cognitive function support

Carnosine protects brain cells from damage caused by oxidative stress and aging, potentially improving memory, mental clarity, and reducing the risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.
Study: Preston, J. E. et al. (1998) demonstrates carnosine’s protective effect on neurons and its potential to lower the risk of degenerative diseases.

Enhanced muscle recovery

Carnosine increases the buffering capacity of muscles, reducing lactic acid buildup during intense exercise. This leads to less muscle fatigue and faster recovery after physical exertion.
Study: Sale, C. et al. (2010) confirmed that carnosine enhances athletic performance and speeds up muscle recovery.

Heart Health Support

Thanks to its antioxidant properties, carnosine protects heart cells from oxidative stress and reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Study: Aldini, G. et al. (2005) confirmed that carnosine neutralizes reactive carbon compounds and protects heart tissue.

Note: These benefits are supported by various studies, but individual effects may vary. It’s essential to consult with a healthcare provider before starting long-term use or combining it with other medications.
