Product Overview
A breakthrough in anti-aging science, L-carnosine is quickly becoming one of the most popular anti-aging supplements in the world today. L-carnosine is a natural dipeptide (protein) consisting of two amino acids — beta-alanine and L-histidine. It is naturally present in all body cells but its concentration decreases with age. L-carnosine is considered to be a longevity nutrient since studies have indicated that it can delay the onset of senescence and promote cellular rejuvenation.
Research has shown that the decrease in levels of L-carnosine is intimately linked with the acceleration of the aging process. L-carnosine also acts as a powerful antioxidant that stabilizes cellular membranes, protecting them from damage by free radicals. L-carnosine is found in high concentrations in skeletal muscle, nerve, heart and brain tissue, and although its precise mechanism of action is not yet completely understood, numerous clinical trials have proven its effectiveness at combatting free radical damage. Clinical studies have shown that L-carnosine may especially useful in supporting muscle health due to its ability to decrease oxidative damage.
In particular, L-carnosine is known for its anti-glycation effect. Glycation, a hallmark of degenerative disease, occurs during normal metabolism when sugar aldehydes react with proteins and result in the formation of abnormal proteins, which are thought to cause extensive damage to cells. L-carnosine has been shown to block this reaction, protecting against the formation of abnormal proteins and effectively slowing down this aspect of the aging process.
Our premium grade high potency L-Carnosine formula provides an extra strength dose of this anti-aging miracle substance in just one convenient capsule. The only dietary sources of L-carnosine are animal proteins, so it is especially important for people who do not consume meat to take an L-carnosine supplement to get its benefits.

Since our founding in 1995, our philosophy has been centered around a "show us the proof" approach. Every single active ingredient contained in our formulas is backed by strong clinical evidence supporting its anti-aging properties and total body wellness attributes. More importantly, we use the exact doses and exact brands used in the research studies. Read about the research behind the formula to see exactly why we have carefully selected each ingredient. At Stop Aging Now, our research team reviews over 2,000 clinical studies per year, and our writers report on over 500 of them. These reports can be found in our News & Research section. No other company stays on top of the latest science as thoroughly as we do. You are guaranteed a clinically proven and truly effective dietary supplement. We also believe food plays a key role in longevity, which is why we create delicious Anti-Aging Recipes for our customers, to complement our superior supplements.
Quality You Can Trust
Equally important to potency and effectiveness, you get the reassuring comfort of Stop Aging Now's legendary quality. All of our premium products are made in the USA in a state-of-the art FDA inspected facility to meet the stringent standards of US Pharmacopeia (USP) for quality, purity, potency and disintegration. Most supplements are made to far lower standards. Additionally, and unfortunately, many companies keep their costs down by outsourcing production to third world countries where quality controls and regulations are virtually non-existent. Whether you take our premium products or those from another company, we strongly encourage to you to be sure to know where they are manufactured. If the bottle label doesn't say "Made in the USA", they are most likely not. Our manufacturing facilities are located in California, Illinois and Florida. We invite you to take a virtual tour of one of our facilities.

This Formula Is Based on the Latest Anti-Aging Research
Every single active ingredient contained in this formula is backed by multiple clinical research studies. We have done our homework, and we are proud to detail below the clinical research data that supports the inclusion of every active ingredient in this formula.
L-Carnosine
L-carnosine (also known simply as carnosine) is a molecule that is composed of the amino acids histidine and alanine. L-carnosine is found in relatively high concentrations in several body tissues, but most notably in skeletal muscle, heart muscle, nerve tissue and in the brain. The exact biological role of carnosine is not well understood, but many studies indicate that carnosine has antioxidant potential. L-carnosine may also act as a neurotransmitter (chemical messenger in the nervous system).
L-carnosine has been called a longevity nutrient since laboratory studies on tissues indicate that it can delay senescence and provoke cellular rejuvenation in cultured human fibroblasts. L-carnosine has been called the anti-aging and antioxidant dipeptide. The exact role of L-carnosine supplementation in human health is not clear at this time but L-carnosine appears to be a promising nutrient with much potential.
Although L-carnosine has been known for about a century, its anti-aging properties have only been extensively studied during the past few years. A recent literature review revealed over 780 published studies on L-carnosine, mainly by Russian and Japanese researchers. However, more widespread interest in this natural nontoxic product has only recently been increased, fuelled by dramatic Australian and British discoveries about its anti-aging actions.
Perhaps, the most important action of L-carnosine is its anti-glycation effect. One of the cardinal processes of aging, apart from free radical damage, is the process of glycation. During normal, everyday metabolism, sugar aldehydes may react with the amino acids on the protein molecule. The result is the formation of AGEs (advance glycosylation endproducts). These are abnormal, cross-linked oxidized products which are thought to cause extensive damage to the organism. L-carnosine blocks this deleterious reaction protecting against cross-linking of proteins, cross-linking of proteins to DNA molecules, and formation of other abnormal proteins, all of which are fundamental features of the aging process.
During a preliminary experiment designed specifically for anti-aging, L-carnosine supplements (50 rng daily) were used on 20 healthy human volunteers, aged 40 to 75 years, for a period of one to four months. No side effects were reported. Five users noticed significant improvements in their facial appearance (firmer facial muscles), muscular stamina and general wellbeing. Five others reported possible benefits, for example better sleep patterns, improved clarity of thought and increased libido. (Quinn PL Boldyrev AA. Formaziuk VH. Carnosine: its properties, functions and potential therapeutic applications. Mol Aspects Mod, 1992, 13(5):379-444.) This is not surprising because supplementation with carnosine is not expected to show any significant noticeable benefits in a short time, but it should be used as an insurance against deleterious effects of the aging process.
