Carnosine is a naturally-occurring dipeptide that is found
in both type 1 & 2 muscle fibers (sig. more in type 2
which are primarily used in high intensity workouts and
are the most responsive to muscular growth).
It’s composed of two amino acids (histidine & beta alanine).
It helps combat both oxidative damage (as an AO) and
glycation, thereby reducing inflammation and cellular aging.
It is also a/w a reduction in the inflammatory marker iNOS
(inducible nitric oxide synthase) and may mitigate the
inflammatory effects of viral infections.

It’s highly concentrated in the brain and muscles
(as well as the skin and other vital organs).
It‘s a natural antioxidant and glycation-fighting
nutrient that helps to protect tissue from
oxidation and protein degradation among other
things.
Carnosine levels decline with age. Muscle levels
decline by 63% between 10 & 70 years of age.

Studies demonstrate that it extends the life
span of laboratory animals.
This is believed to be largely due to carnosine’s
ability to protect telomere length.
Carnosine acts as an AO, as well as a pH buffer,
thereby protecting muscle cell membranes from
oxidative damage d/t muscular exertion.

Muscle levels of carnosine correlate with
max life span of all animal species tested. Of
course this is simply a correlation at this
point and is not claimed to be the cause.
It enables heart muscle to contract more
efficiently via enhanced calcium response.

5. Shown to rejuvenate CT and support wound healing.
Believed to be related to its ability to reduce
accumulation of damaged, cross-linked proteins .
Carnosine is the most promising broad spectrum shield
against protein degradation yet discovered.
One of its functions is to act as an pH buffer which helps to
increase time to exhaustion due to accumulation of acids
associated with intense exercise. Most importantly, it works inside
the cell so it is the first line of defense with regard to buffering
increased acid production.

6. Beta-Alanine is the only beta-amino acid
known, it is a non-proteinogenic AA as it is
not used in the building of proteins.
Primary dietary sources are via the dipeptides in
chicken, beef, pork, and fish. It’s synthesized in the
liver &/or derived from the breakdown of specific
ingested dipeptides.

7. Studies support that Beta Alanine helps to:
- Boost explosive muscular strength and power output;
- Increase muscle mass;
- Boost muscular anaerobic endurance;
- Increase aerobic endurance;
Plus, It increases exercise capacity (allowing one to
train harder and longer). This is believed to be
primarily related to its ability to boost carnosine levels
which acts as a pH buffer.

Exercising muscle uses a great deal of energy from glucose
and glycogen via the glycolosis pathway which produces
lactic acid as a by-product.
The lactic acid gives off hydrogen ions (H+) which create an acidic
environment hampering muscle function & performance.
Beta-Alanine supplementation is the most effective way to
boost cellular concentrations of L-carnosine.
Studies show increased carnosine of 42-65% in just 4
weeks; after 10-12 weeks up to 80%.
That is a huge increased buffering capacity!

All of that should make it abundantly
clear why we’ve included L-carnosine
and Beta-Alanine in our Paleo Proteins
