Function of N-acetyl-L-Carnosine
N-Acetyl-L-Carnosine is a form of acetylated carnosine, which allows the overall molecular composition more stability. It is an amino acid that possesses the properties of a strong antioxidant and benefits muscle tissue. Because of this, it is a popular supplement among athletes.
1. N-Acetyl-L-Carnosine protects
epithelial cell membranes in the stomach and restores them to their normal
metabolism.
2. N-Acetyl-L-Carnosine acts as an antioxidant and protects the
stomach from alcohol and smoking-induced damage.
3. N-Acetyl-L-Carnosine has anti-inflammatory properties and
moderates production of interleukin-8.
4. N-Acetyl-L-Carnosine adheres to ulcerations, acts as a barrier
between them and stomach acids and helps to heal them.
5. N-Acetyl-L-Carnosine inhibits activity of Helicobacter pylori
bacteria.
6. N-Acetyl-L-Carnosine does not interfere with the production of
prostaglandins essential to the mucosal lining of the stomach.
7. N-Acetyl-L-Carnosine strengthens these mucosal linings and
stimulates production of protective mucous.
