RE: [Life Extension] A True Advance In Anti-Aging?
Well, you don't know that, but yes, as I said, I took the same approach. You have to assume LEF is lying through their teeth about 'over-whelming' carnosinase, which I cheerfully admited in the OP might be nonsense.
I only paused based on the anecdotal reports combined with some interesting, possibly legitimate, research results. Enough for me to try it. If I experience something good I think is real, I'll be happy.
At what point of carnosine supplementation could you 'overwhelm' carnosinase? Would that be a good thing?
Edit: Sorry, I didn't see your update 'til after this post. Maybe it's not an 'excess'. That's what the research suggests.
Carnosine is thought to be a radical oxygen scavenger, so its benefit is supposedly though reducing free oxygen radicals. You aren't going to "overwhelm" the enzyme unless it has some sort of substrate inhibition mechanism, where too high a concentration of carnosine (its substrate) binds to a separate site and prevents the function of the enzyme. I don't suspect that supplementation with carnosine would do much of anything, seems like if it did, then eating a lot of meat would do the same thing to me. Best of luck!
Thanks, Just. I do think low carb is really good. Ketogenic Life Extension
