L-carnosine was discovered 100 years ago, why didn’t it become popular earlier?
A typical red meat meal provides 250 mg of pure L-carnosine, but the problem is that it is rapidly broken down in the body by the enzyme carnosinase. This means that even if a person relied on red meat for carnosine, it wouldn’t last long enough in the body to provide lasting protective effects. The situation is the same with supplements containing pure L-carnosine. When using pure L-carnosine supplements, the resorption is quite low due to the rapid degradation in the blood.
Carnosine EXTRA is a special product that contains L-carnosine but is protected from carnosinase. Siniša Stanković, from the Institute for Biological Research in Belgrade, conducted an experiment in which the stability of pure L-carnosine and L-carnosine from Carnosine Extra was tested. Preliminary results showed that L-carnosine from Carnosine Extra is protected from carnosinase activity.

The formulation of Carnosine Extra ensures not only a constant, but also a high concentration of carnosine in the tissues over an 8-12 hour period, and therefore makes it easy to consume, as it only needs to be consumed in the morning and evening to round out the whole 24hr period. With pure carnosine you would need to take carnosine almost every 30 minutes, but not only that, you would need much higher doses (from 1 mg to 2 mg every hour)!
See the table below to see the huge difference between L Carnosine and the Carnosine Extra formula:
Since price/quality ratio plays a very important role nowadays, in order to provide a financial overview, the table below adds another dimension to the difference between pure L Carnosine and 250mg Carnosine Extra:
Pure L Carnosine | Carnosine EXTRA | |
Average price per 500mg capsule | Eur 0.25 | Eur 0.24 |
Daily dose/prevention | Eur 12.00 | Eur 0.88 |
Monthly dose/prevention | Eur 360.00 | Eur 26.40 |
Annual dose/prevention | Eur 4 320 | Eur 316.80 |
Average retail price of 500 mg pure ingredient per capsule, may vary slightly.
** Since the bioavailability of pure L-carnosine is approximately 15%, we have adjusted the amount of pure carnosine in the capsule to theoretically match the amount in the capsule in Karnozine Extra. The prophylactic dosage of Carnosine Extra is 2 capsules per day.
