L Carnosine
About L Carnosine
L Carnosine is used in the management of autism and learning disorders. L Carnosine may also be used to prevent/treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), ageing, eye disorders, complications of diabetes such as nerve damage, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and liver and kidney problems. L Carnosine is necessary for normal body functions such as proper functioning and development of the heart, muscles, brain, kidney, and other organs.
L Carnosine contains 'L-carnosine', a dipeptide molecule made up of two amino acids, namely, beta-alanine and histidine. L Carnosine prevents cognitive decline by inhibiting amyloid-beta and enhances nervous system function in individuals with autism. It helps in reducing the build-up of amyloid-beta, a protein that forms the brain plaques associated with Alzheimer's. L Carnosine helps prevent kidney and nerve damage in children with diabetes by protecting against damage caused by protein glycation.
You are advised to give L Carnosine to your child for as long as your doctor has recommended it, depending on your child’s medical condition. In some cases, they may experience certain common side effects, such as stomach upset, headache, nausea, and vomiting. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if your child experiences these side effects persistently.
Let your doctor know if you are giving any other medicines or herbal products to your child before starting with L Carnosine. If your child is allergic to any components of L Carnosine, inform the doctor immediately. L Carnosine should be given to children only if recommended by a doctor.

Medicinal Benefits
L Carnosine is used to manage autism and learning disorders in children. It may also help prevent or treat conditions such as ageing, eye disorders, diabetic nerve damage, liver and kidney problems, and Alzheimer's disease. L Carnosine contains 'L-carnosine,' a molecule made of two amino acids, beta-alanine and histidine that works by reducing the formation of abnormal proteins, helping to protect the body. In children with autism, L Carnosine improves behavior, socialization, communication, vocabulary, and language comprehension. It also supports the normal functioning and development of the brain, heart, muscles, kidneys, and other organs. By inhibiting amyloid-beta, L Carnosine prevents cognitive decline and enhances nervous system function. Additionally, it reduces amyloid-beta build-up, which is linked to brain plaques in Alzheimer's, and protects against kidney and nerve damage caused by protein glycation in children with diabetes.
