Antioxidants

Just like rust on a car, oxidation can cause damage to cells and may contribute to aging. Antioxidants help prevent oxidation, may help increase immune function and may decrease the risk of infection and cancer. Antioxidants exist as vitamins, minerals and other compounds in foods.

Carnosine

Carnosine is a multi-potent super-antioxidant which stabilizes and protects the cell membrane. Specifically, as a water-soluble free radical scavenger it prevents lipid peroxidation within the cell membrane. Many antioxidants (like vitamins E and C) are aimed at preventing free radicals from entering the tissues, but have no effect after this first line of defense is broken. Free radicals cause oxidative stress in the body.

Carnosine is not only effective in prevention, but it is also active after free radicals react to form other dangerous compounds, like lipid peroxides and and secondary products. So, it protects the tissues from these damaging 'second-wave' chemicals.
