Review on NOW Supplements L-Carnosine (Beta-Alanyl-L-Histidine) 500mg - Promote Healthy Aging with 100 Veg Capsules by Sam Goff

, I learned about this from Dr. Oz (I doubt who I am these days) and heard elsewhere. This prompted me to do my own research and aroused my curiosity. I've used sites like Lifestrong, Web MD etc, mostly information of no use, trying to sell anything to anyone. Many reputable websites have noted claims about this dietary supplement - a lot of research has been done. It's expensive but I decided to give it a try. I love it! First, I notice more "energy". I take 1000mg daily. I actually break up capsules because I absorb the powder form better. (Absorption is better for me) - I'm not a doctor, so always consult someone with a medical degree before walking away from a faceless person online. I put 1000 in a tall glass of water and drink it right away. I've been doing this for a few weeks and I actually feel a lot more motivated. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with dopamine (my favorite neurotransmitter), but I'll check. I usually use a mix of other things for this. L-Carnosine is a mixture of two other amino acids. One of these is produced by the body (not irreplaceable) in combination with an irreplaceable. From what I've read, this process slows down with age. Especially if you are not getting the right foods from your diet etc. Your body depletes faster as you age, so supplementing with certain foods becomes more important and can be very effective. I like the effects I get. More energy, my mind is more active, I'm more motivated, I exercise more and make better food choices, sugar cravings are reduced. it's all a chain effect. . Do some research, read about this stuff and what it does (including Alzheimer's, amazing info) to see if you should try it. All I can say is that in a matter of weeks I went from a lethargic apathetic state to a much better state. I don't run marathons or anything like that, but I "feel" a lot better. I open 2 capsules and put them in water so that's 1000mg per day. I'll keep this one in stock with a few others. So glad I tried it!
