Life Extension Super Carnosine

Super Carnosine is a muscle support supplement that offers antioxidant defense, as well as luteolin, benfotiamine, and vitamin B1 to help inhibit glycation. Carnosine is a compound made up of the amino acids beta-alanine and L-histidine that acts as an antioxidant and a pH buffer, protecting muscle cell membranes from oxidation during and after exercise. Super Carnosine also contains luteolin, thiamine (vitamin B1) and benfotiamine to complement carnosine’s benefits. Super Carnosine supports your muscles and your heart, so you can stay active at any age.
