L-Carnosine is a natural dipeptide composed of beta-alanine and L-histidine, widely distributed in animal muscle and brain tissues. It features strong antioxidant, anti-glycation, metal chelation and pH-buffering effects, with broad applications across cosmetics, nutraceuticals, feed and food industries.
L-Carnosine scavenges free radicals, chelates heavy metal ions such as copper and zinc, inhibits lipid oxidation and reduces cellular oxidative damage.
Blocks the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), prevents collagen cross-linking that causes dull yellow skin, sagging and fine lines. It is a mainstream anti-glycation ingredient in skincare products.
Neutralizes lactic acid produced during exercise to relieve muscle soreness and delay fatigue, serving as a core raw material for sports nutrition.
