I oftentimes like to spotlight certain nutrients and products from our product line to really show you the science behind these different formulations. Today, I want to spotlight our L-Carnosine Plus HxⓇ formulation.†
Carnosine is a dipeptide that is made up of two amino acids, beta-alanine and L-histidine. We can find these amino acids in foods, as well as being naturally produced within the human body. One of the things that we know about this dipeptide is that certain cells that are needed for longevity contain high levels of carnosine. When we think about nerve cells or muscle cells, for example, carnosine is found in high levels within these cells.†
DEALING WITH AGE-RELATED MUSCLE LOSS, PART 1 – INVITE HEALTH PODCAST, EPISODE 408. Listen Now>>
When we utilize this nutrient as a supplement, we’re helping to reestablish or restore the high energy demand for carnosine within those cells. If you think about the neurons in your brain, they require a lot of energy output. Your cardiac myocytes require a lot of energy output. We certainly understand that carnosine is playing a critical role in this.†
Throughout the aging process, our body produces less and less carnosine. That becomes problematic because we are more vulnerable to destruction at the cellular level. When we look at conditions such as diabetes, metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease, we can see the link where accelerated aging really starts to take off because we have excess glycation but not enough carnosine to fend it off. We need to be able to reestablish that level.†
Carnosine is considered to be an anti-aging amino acid, but it also has benefits for kidney health, vision health, cognition and more. The L-Carnosine Plus HxⓇ is a fabulous formulation and a great way to make sure that you are getting in the key amino acids that you really need as you get older. We know so much about these amino acids, so we understand that they play multiple different roles.†

In this episode, Amanda Williams, MPH explains the science behind our L-Carnosine Plus HxⓇ formulation. She explains how the nutrients in this supplement help to fight glycation and promote health throughout the aging process.†

There’s a nutrient found in your brain called phosphatidylserine. It is very important for the health of the brain, the way the brain functions, the memory and the ability to learn. Unfortunately, the level of phosphatidylserine declines with age, which can impact people’s ability to learn and remember things such as names, dates and tasks.†
There is about two ounces of phosphatidylserine in the human body, but half of it is in the brain. This shows you how important this nutrient is in the brain because you need the same amount for your brain as you do for the rest of the body.†
In the brain, phosphatidylserine is located in the phospholipid bilayer. Its tail points out towards the tail of another phospholipid called phosphatidylcholine. Together, these tails create vibrations that occur millions of times per minute, which is basically the life of the brain cells. It’s very important for the brain cells to communicate because this is what initiates and creates the various body functions.†

Phosphatidylserine is also needed to build and recycle mitochondria, which convert sugar and oxygen into energy. This nutrient takes old mitochondria and recycles them into new, functioning mitochondria so your brain has plenty of energy, even into late old age.†
The problem is that by the age of 30, your phosphatidylserine starts to decline in the membrane of your brain cells, causing the cells to stiffen. This affects your ability to pay attention, your ability to focus, your mood and more. But phosphatidylserine is not in any food to any degree, so it is important to turn to supplementation. Research has shown that giving people about 300mg of phosphatidylserine every morning with their breakfast helps to promote memory functions and the ability to learn.†
