Product Details

Zinc- L carnosine is the artificially produced derivative of carnosine in which a zinc ion and carnosine are both bound together in a 1-to-1 ratio to create a chelate compound. Zinc- L carnosine has been in use since 1994 for gastritis, gastric ulcers, and dyspepsia symptoms. It appears that the combination chelate is 3 times more effective than each individual ingredient . Zinc- L carnosine showed in rat studies to protect the gastric mucosa against experimentally induced ulcerations and also accelerate the healing of gastric ulcers. Zinc- L carnosine is a unique product that appears to enhance the stomach's mucosal defenses, providing significant improvements in gastric ulcer patients. Other potential uses for Zinc-L carnosine are preventing NSAID–induced gut permeability, suggesting a small intestinal protective effect and inhibiting the inflammatory response to Helicobacter pylori.
