Just over a decade ago, researchers in Japan were studying the effects of vinegar. An interesting finding came out of this study and it was that vinegar could potentially help to burn fat, thus functioning as a weight loss agent. This is an interesting way to think about vinegar apart from a salad dressing or an alternative cleaning agent. What we now know is that apple cider vinegar has a really unique way of promoting thermogenesis, which is natural fat burning.†

Research on the benefits of vinegar

People are always looking for different ways to burn fat. The researchers in Japan said that vinegar may be a natural fat fighter. They found that when they were utilizing vinegar, they were starting to see that it was helping people by preventing additional weight gain. They were looking at people’s weight, percentage body fat and Body Mass Index (BMI).† 

In the journal of MedGenMed in 2006, there was a study that came across another interesting finding with vinegar. They found that it had these anti-glycemic effects, which means it was more in terms of the regulation of blood glucose. Though there are many different types of vinegar, we certainly know that apple cider vinegar really seems to have this heightened amount of medicinal benefits.†

What makes apple cider vinegar special?

Across the board, when we’re looking at cholesterol, weight and gastrointestinal health, apple cider vinegar has been shown to be very beneficial, especially in the setting of the microbiome. Whenever we can control our microbial environment, this will also help to support our weight. Apple cider vinegar has also been looked at for cardiovascular health and blood pressure.† 

In that same study from 2006, the researchers looked at how apple cider vinegar could help to regulate blood glucose levels by enhancing insulin sensitivity. This helps create a more balanced blood sugar, helping to prevent spikes in blood glucose. One of the things that we know about weight gain is that it is often paired with insulin resistance, so people who are struggling to lose weight generally have elevated cortisol, elevated insulin and erratic glucose levels. Cortisol coming from adrenals then gets stored as fat, so you may be trying different things to burn fat, but if you’re having this dysregulation because of glucose and insulin, you’re always going to be struggling. We know now that vinegar helps to modulate this.†

Researchers have come a long way since the original discovery of the very unique amino acid carnosine. L-carnosine has long been known for helping with muscle recovery and energy production within the muscles. We are now seeing why this amino acid is so important to our overall health and wellness.†

What is L-carnosine?

L-carnosine is a dipeptide made up of beta alanine and L-histidine. Recent research has found high levels of this amino acid in neurons, showing that this nutrient may be important for the nervous system and brain. We find carnosine throughout the body wherever there are high energy demands, including the heart, brain and skeletal muscles. It helps support the metabolic demand and energy production within those regions.†

We also now recognize that this nutrient plays a role in the aging process. As carnosine levels begin to diminish, we start to see an acceleration of aging. We can see that the shortening of telomeres is associated with low levels of carnosine in the body. This can cause things to go haywire.†

Initial studies on L-carnosine looked at the role of the nutrient in skeletal muscle. It is integral to muscle recovery, so it is helpful after exercise, for example. But we also know that it seems to exert this multimodal activity, including being very important when it comes to targeting free radicals. It has its own antioxidant capabilities. It is very beneficial when it comes to easing inflammation.†        

Supplementing with this nutrient

If we can supplement with L-carnosine and put this nutrient back into our body, we are actually helping to protect our telomeres, which are the end-caps of our cellular DNA.† 

We have our L-Carnosine Plus HxⓇ formulation, which is this powerful dipeptide that people can utilize for a variety of reasons. For people who are seeing early signs of the kidneys beginning to slow down, then taking carnosine can be advantageous for its antioxidant properties, as well as its ability to help with glycation. This can also be the case when it comes to diabetic neuropathy. There is so much research continuing to come out about how the antioxidants derived from carnosine can do so much to support the health of the brain, as well as the muscles.†
