NOW Foods L-Carnosine 500 mg – Healthy Aging & Muscle Support, 50 Veg Capsules

NOW Foods L-Carnosine 500 mg is an amino acid supplement formulated to support healthy aging, muscle vitality, antioxidant activity, and cellular integrity. Each vegetarian capsule provides 500 mg of L-Carnosine, also known as beta-alanyl-L-histidine — a dipeptide composed of the amino acids beta-alanine and histidine. Carnosine occurs naturally in high concentrations within muscle and nerve tissues, while the body’s carnosine levels may decline with age. Through its free-radical-neutralizing and membrane-stabilizing functions, L-Carnosine may help protect cellular and tissue structures from oxidative stress associated with aging. Its convenient capsule format makes it suitable for adults seeking focused cellular and muscle wellness support.
