L-Carnosine with Pyridoxamine
Scientists generally agree that aging causes considerable damage to the body's proteins. The underlying cause behind this damage is believed to be when sugar molecules in the blood and in the cells chemically bond to proteins. This bonding is called glycation; and the subsequent result of glycation is cross-linking, or the formation of a chemical bridge between proteins.
The glycation process attacks the proteins in the body and converts them into Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) which can not only change the shape and properties of the protein, but can also interfere with the proper functioning of the proteins to which they are attached. And over time, as AGEs accumulate throughout the body, they generate free radicals that not only accelerate many other types of cross-linking, but many researcher believe they may be cross-linkers themselves.
The consequences of this continuing cycle of glycation and cross-linking have been implicated as a significant contributor to many progressive age-related health problems such as hypertension, poor capillary circulation, impaired wound healing, cardiovascular disease, arterial stiffness, urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction, and many complications associated with diabetes.
Scientific literature has published many positive articles about the potent antioxidant properties of L-Carnosine and how it may assist the body in protecting against Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs), thereby delaying many arterial, cardiovascular and neurological health issues attributable to glycation and its effects on aging. In addition, L-Carnosine nutritionally supports cellular rejuvenation; and healthy eye, brain, joint, muscle and circulatory system functions.
