Carnosine is a non-essential amino acid, which means the body can metabolise (or make) it from the essential amino acids. It is not necessarily required in high levels in the diet.
Carnosine, just like all the other amino acids, is one of the building blocks of all proteins in the body, which not only include muscles, but also all the other proteins required for normal function of the body.
Carnosine is a dipeptide made up of two other amino acids – alanine and histidine.
Carnosine is found in large amounts in the skeletal muscles as well as in brain tissue. It is also found in the heart.
