Mambo! Re: carnosine for protein glycosylation

[Guest guest]

Have you heard anything about maximum safe dosages?

There seems to be 2 schools of thought regarding Carnosine dosages...

One is that in order to derive carnosine's multiple benefits, it is

critical to consume enough carnosine to saturate the carnosinase

enzyme so as to make free carnosine available to the rest of the body

(500mg).

The thinking behind this is that small dosages of supplemental

carnosine that are often sold by commercial companies provide no

benefit because this small amount of carnosine is degraded by the

carnosinase enzyme before it can produce beneficial effects in the

body.

On the other hand, others recommend 50-100mg dosages as being

sufficient and their thinking is that some of the benefits of

carnosine are derived AFTER carnosine has been degraded by

carnisinases to produce histidine and alanine. Some of the benefits

may be due to these aminoacids, particularly histidine.
