Function of N-acetyl-L-Carnosine
N-Acetyl-L-Carnosine is a form of acetylated carnosine, which allows the overall molecular composition more stability. It is an amino acid that possesses the properties of a strong antioxidant and benefits muscle tissue. Because of this, it is a popular supplement among athletes.
1. N-Acetyl-L-Carnosine protects epithelial cell membranes in the stomach and restores them to their normal metabolism.
2. N-Acetyl-L-Carnosine acts as an antioxidant and protects the stomach from alcohol and smoking-induced damage.
3. N-Acetyl-L-Carnosine has anti-inflammatory properties and moderates production of interleukin-8.
4. N-Acetyl-L-Carnosine adheres to ulcerations, acts as a barrier between them and stomach acids and helps to heal them.
5. N-Acetyl-L-Carnosine inhibits activity of Helicobacter pylori bacteria.
6. N-Acetyl-L-Carnosine does not interfere with the production of prostaglandins essential to the mucosal lining of the stomach.
7. N-Acetyl-L-Carnosine strengthens these mucosal linings and stimulates production of protective mucous.
