In recent years,carnosine has become an essential substance of the life extension program, which is able to restore the functionality of cells, thus slowing down the aging process and keeping the body in good mental and physical condition.

Ageing is a specific, irreversible and unrepeatable biological process. It manifests itself at the biological, psychological and social levels. The quality of ageing is largely influenced by health status. Age-related changes in health affect all body systems.

The role of carnosine has been investigated in various diseases associated with older age.

Since carnosine improves blood flow through many organs, it is also thought to play an important role in supplying the muscle with sufficient oxygen and other nutrients. Due to better 'nourishment', the onset of muscle weakness, stiffness and atrophy is reduced and nerve transmission is improved (as it also acts as a neurotransmitter), ultimately leading to a delay in the morbid changes that accompany muscle disease.

However, perhaps the most widely discussed positive effect of carnosine is in relation to Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.

Alzheimer's disease is widely the most feared and common neurodegenerative disease. Researchers have found that patients with the disease have lower levels of carnosine in the brain and cerebrospinal fluid than similarly aged adults. An important role of carnosine in the prevention of this disease is that it prevents the destructive effect of oxidized chemicals, such as malondialdehyde (MDA), which cause cell death in the brain and thus trigger neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.

Alzheimer's disease results from a variety of causes, virtually all of which have some connection to the function of carnosine in the brain. Carnosine simply stops the process of protein deformation and helps slow the process of Alzheimer's and other types of dementia, as well as mild cognitive impairment.

Experts now agree that Parkinson's disease is caused by oxidative stress, triggered by free radicals that attack the brain. Carnosine is a physiological and 100% natural super-antioxidant that protects brain cells from damage.
