Carnosine Protects Telomeres from Age-related Shortening

How Carnosine Works in Anti-Aging

This was a recent article from Natural News I thought was well worth sharing. It is quite scientific, but don’t get bogged down in the technical stuff. Just learn how important Carnosine is for our bodies.

Scientists have understood the basic mechanism of telomeres, the small zipper-like capsules that bind our DNA genetic material and enable precise cellular reproduction, for more than a decade now. As each cell replicates, the telomere shortens and the potential life-cycle of the cell diminishes slightly until there is no more telomere and cell death ensues. Researchers publishing in the journal Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology have found that telomere shortening accurately predicts the risk of developing heart disease, suffering a heart attack and early death from all causes.

Smoking and obesity cause systemic inflammation and are a direct cause of telomere shortening. In addition to improving diet and lifestyle risk factors, carnosine supplementation is emerging as an important nutrient that can block telomere shortening and reduce aging effects to increase lifespan.

Researchers from The University of Copenhagen in Denmark examined the DNA of 20,000 Danes to analyze their specific telomere length, an established measurement of cellular aging. The participants were followed for a period of nineteen years and the results demonstrated that when the telomere length was short, the risk of heart attack and early death was increased by 50 and 25 percent, respectively

The study author and team leader, Dr. Borge Nordestgaard noted “The risk of heart attack or early death is present whether your telomeres are shortened due to lifestyle or due to high age.” Many lifestyle choices including smoking and poor diet leading to overweight and obesity are independent risk factors for telomere shortening that increase heart attack risk and early death. Any factor that shortens the length of these critical DNA markers, whether from lifestyle digressions or age, will have the same detrimental consequences.

It is now possible to examine cellular wear and aging by means of a simple blood test to reveal a person’s telomere length. In addition to following a diet optimized for proper nutrients and calories and avoiding negative lifestyle habits, the dipeptide carnosine has been shown to maintain and actually lengthen telomeres. Due to the potent antioxidant action of carnosine, the naturally derived nutrient is shown to play a protective role in preventing telomere damage while decreasing the rate of telomere shortening during cell division, effectively slowing down the aging process.

Carnosine is presently used for preventing or treating complications of diabetes such as nerve damage, cataracts and kidney problems, as it prevents the damaging effects of advanced glycation end products (AGE’s). Carnosine is naturally found in free-range meats and fish. Carnosine supplement may help prevent telomere shortening and protect against heart attack and premature death.

Now an easy and most effective way to support your Carnosine levels in your body, Lifewave Y-Age Carnosine Patches.

FACTS about Carnosine and its benefits in an anti-aging program:

  • Carnosine is a material that is found naturally in the human body
  • As we age our bodies levels of Carnosine start to decline, necessitating the need for supplementation
  • Carnosine is an antioxidant and plays an important role in our overall health
  • Studies on Carnosine show that it can protect the brain from plaque, one of the causes of Alzheimer’s disease.
  • Studies on Carnosine show that it protects our DNA better than any other nutrient
  • Carnosine has the unique ability to turn old cells into young and healthy cells!
  • Carnosine is known to accelerate wound healing through repair of connective tissue
  • Patents have been issued for using Carnosine to improve athletic performance; this is possible because Carnosine helps to prevent the build up of lactic acid in our muscles

There are other Carnosine supplements on the market, but clinical research shows that common Carnosine pills, powders and drinks can only elevate blood Carnosine levels by trivial amounts in 30 days.

LifeWave has completed a bioelectrical impedance study of LifeWave Carnosine patches using an Electro Interstitial Scanning (EIS) system. This study showed that cellular physiologic organ function (status), improved in eight of the ten tested organs.

These results have never been available before LifeWave.

The important thing to remember from this article is Carnosine is a naturally occurring nutrient in our bodies whose production declines with age. Clinical research on Carnosine has produced some amazing and dramatic results including the knowledge that Carnosine may be the principle nutrient for keeping the body young as we grow older.

For centuries human beings have searched for the elusive fountain of youth. But what if the answer to vibrant health and vitality could be found within our own bodies?
