Carnosine is known scientifically as beta-alanyl-L-histidine. It is composed of one molecule each of the amino acids histidine and beta-alanine, and is therefore known chemically as a dipeptide. The L form, or isomer, of carnosine is biologically active in humans. L-carnosine is generally found throughout the bodies of animals, although is most concentrated in the brain and muscles
As we age, cell undergo oxidative stress from free radicals and reactive oxygen species(ROS),It was well known that antioxidants neutralize these cell-damaging species, and it makes L-Carnosine, antioxidant, a popular supplement of fight signs of aging.

2.The role of carnosine in the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases has certain preventive effects on chronic diseases caused by low antioxidant function. Such as cataract, gastric ulcer and so on.
