Evidence Summary

L-Carnosine is a naturally occurring dipeptide (two amino acids joined together) found in muscle and brain tissue. It acts as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent, and early clinical research suggests it may modestly improve attention and executive function in certain neurological conditions at doses around 800 mg/day. As zinc-L-carnosine (polaprezinc), it has shown some benefit for oral mucositis (mouth sores from cancer treatment) and may support fracture healing, though most human trials are small or preliminary.
