What are the benefits of Carnosine
Carnosine is believed to stimulate the frontal areas of the brain, resulting in overall improved levels of functioning. More and more research shows that the frontal lobes and temporal lobes in the brain control emotion, epileptic activity, cognitive, expressive speech, and abstract thinking. Studies have shown Carnosine to improve language, socialization, and overall level of functioning in individuals within the autism spectrum. It has also been shown in studies to have anti-seizure properties without the side-effects of prescription anti-seizure medications.
Research indicates it prevents the formation of the beta amyloid plaque in found in not only in neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and autism, but also in the eyes in degenerative eye conditions and in the pancreas in diabetes. It is a neuroprotectant, with a study indicating it reduced severity of damage in stroke patients.
