Seeking Health Zinc Carnosine is a dietary supplement containing zinc in a unique form as a combination with carnosine.
Zinc is an element belonging to the trace elements. This micronutrient performs a number of important functions in the body. Zinc helps maintain normal metabolism of carbohydrates, fatty acids and macronutrients. In addition, it helps in the proper synthesis of protein, supports the maintenance of proper testosterone levels in the blood, and helps maintain healthy hair, skin and nails. Zinc also supports the proper functioning of the immune system, contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress and supports normal vision, thanks in part to its participation in the metabolism of vitamin A.
Carnosine is a dipeptide composed of histidine and β-alanine, naturally occurring in the body, especially in muscle tissue, the central nervous system and the lens. It primarily plays an antioxidant role, acting as a "scavenger" of free radicals.
Some studies suggest that the combination of carnosine and zinc may have a particular protective effect on the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract, especially in the stomach.
In conclusion, Seeking Health Zinc Carnosine is recommended for supplementation with the formula's active ingredients.
