What is L-carnosine and what is it used for?

[Guest guest]

My 6 yr old's doctor wanted me to give my daughter 1000mg a day. She

is NT and has undiagnosed ADD. We have completed 15 rounds of DMSA and

ALA. Thanks Sheila

Carnosine [do not confuse this with carnitine] was somewhat helpful

for my son for about a month. His language did somewhat improve

during that month.

It did tend to deplete his zinc for that month.

Carnitine is another amino acid, but this was helps with growth

issues, muscle tone, and absorption. My son needed carnitine for

proper absorption of fats, vitamin C, B vitamins, and TMG. It was one

of my son's " wonder supps " here.
