Chemical compound
Carnosine (beta-alanyl-L-histidine) is a dipeptide molecule, made up of the amino acids beta-alanine and histidine. It is highly concentrated in muscle and brain tissues.[citation needed] Carnosine was discovered by Russian chemist Vladimir Gulevich.[1]
Carnosine is naturally produced by the body in the liver[2] from beta-alanine and histidine. Like carnitine, carnosine is composed of the root word carn, meaning "flesh", alluding to its prevalence in meat.[3] There are no plant-based sources of carnosine.[4] Carnosine is readily available as a synthetic nutritional supplement.
