Product overview

Zinc-Carnosine (ZnC) is a chelated compound that contains L-Carnosine and Zinc. Zinc is an essential mineral found in foods such as meat, cheese, and tofu. When combined with L-Carnosine as a supplement, it is said to slow cell aging, protect against miscellaneous aging processes, as well as improve wound healing, both within the skin and the gastric lining. It can also help restore lost sense of smell and taste.

Learn more about Zinc-Carnosine

What is Zinc-Carnosine?

Zinc-L-Carnosine (ZnC) is a chelated compound that contains L-Carnosine and Zinc. It is a relatively new molecule and has been associated with multiple health benefits.

Its unique structure is estimated to be three times more effective when it comes to healing than the individual ingredients it’s made of - zinc and carnosine.

Zinc is a mineral found in meat, eggs, shellfish, cheese, legumes, and tofu. Zinc is an essential mineral which is a part of many enzymes that are critical in cell proliferation during cell repair, especially in epithelial and epidermal cells. Therefore, it is required for wound healing of the skin, connective tissue, and intestinal lining, particularly epithelial tissue.

Zinc deficiency, whether from dietary, hereditary, or other causes, leads to pathological conditions, such as impeded growth, skin symptoms, and taste disorders.

How does Zinc-Carnosine work?

Carnosine is mainly concentrated in the brain, muscles, and heart. Studies have shown that carnosine slows the aging of human cells and protects against aging processes such as glycation and mitochondrial dysfunction. Carnosine levels in the body drop as we age. Therefore, supplementation is important in order to delay aging.

There are several studies that support ZnC’s benefits in restoring the gastric lining, healing other parts of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, improving taste disorders, improving GI disorders, and enhancing skin and liver.

Oral mucositis is a common complication of cytotoxic radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy. It occurs in almost every person with head and neck cancer who receive radiotherapy. It is often overlooked because it is not considered life threatening. However, mucositis often leads to a decreased quality of life and cessation of treatment, ultimately decreasing positive outcomes. Therefore, solutions to address it should be considered. The primary mechanisms of action are thought to be localized and related to ZnC’s anti-inflammatory and antioxidant functions.

Evidence supports the safety and efficacy of ZnC for the maintenance, prevention, and treatment of the mucosal lining and other epithelial tissues. The research supports its use for gastric ulcers (approved in Japan) and conditions of the upper GI and suggests other applications, particularly for oral mucositis.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Zinc Carnosine?

Zinc Carnosine is a compound formed by chelating zinc with carnosine. Zinc is an essential mineral that supports cellular repair and immune health, while carnosine is a dipeptide with antioxidant properties. This combination enhances the stability and bioavailability of both components, making Zinc Carnosine particularly effective for gut and gastric health.

What is Zinc Carnosine used for?

Zinc Carnosine is primarily used to:

  • Support gastrointestinal health by promoting the repair of the stomach lining,
  • Aid in the treatment of gastric and duodenal ulcers,
  • Support mucosal healing in the digestive tract,
  • Improve taste and smell disorders,
  • Support epithelial tissue health, including skin and connective tissue.
What does Zinc Carnosine do?

Zinc Carnosine provides targeted support for the stomach lining by:

  • Enhancing mucosal protection against damage caused by stomach acid and certain medications,
  • Promoting healing and repair of gastric tissues,
  • Reducing inflammation and oxidative stress in the gastrointestinal tract.

This makes it beneficial for conditions like gastric ulcers, gastritis, and general digestive discomfort.

Is Zinc Carnosine safe?

Yes, Zinc Carnosine is generally considered safe when taken within the recommended dosage. It has been studied extensively for its gastrointestinal and mucosal protective properties, showing minimal side effects. However, individuals with specific health conditions or those taking other medications should consult their healthcare provider before use.

How much Zinc Carnosine should I take?

The recommended daily dose of Zinc Carnosine is 0.1–0.3g. Do not exceed this dosage. Hansen Supplements includes a free measuring spoon with each product, which holds 0.4g of Zinc Carnosine and is dishwasher safe, allowing for convenient and accurate measurement. If you need even greater precision, consider using a precision scale, available for purchase here.

How should I take Zinc Carnosine?

Zinc Carnosine from Hansen Supplements is provided as a powder for flexible dosing. For best results:

  • Dissolve the powder in water or juice and consume immediately,
  • Take it on an empty stomach or between meals to enhance absorption.
When should I take Zinc Carnosine?

For optimal effectiveness, Zinc Carnosine is best taken:

  • On an empty stomach or 30 minutes before meals,
  • At consistent times daily to maintain steady levels in the body.
How long does it take for Zinc Carnosine to work?

The time for noticeable effects may vary depending on the individual and the condition being treated. For gastric support, studies suggest improvements can be observed within 4 to 8 weeks of consistent use. However, some users report relief from digestive discomfort sooner.

What foods have Zinc Carnosine?

Zinc Carnosine itself is not naturally present in foods, but its components are:

  • Zinc: Found in meat, shellfish, cheese, legumes, and tofu,
  • Carnosine: Naturally present in animal-based foods like red meat, poultry, and fish.

Supplementation is the primary way to consume Zinc Carnosine for its specific benefits.
