L-Carnosine (CAS 305-84-0) Powder ≥99.0% Manufacturer
NutraJagen L-Carnosine is a high-purity endogenous histidine-containing dipeptide (beta-alanyl-L-histidine) synthesized through controlled enzymatic or chemical condensation to yield an analytical standard of ≥99.0%. Hydrophilic structural features allow instant dissolution in aqueous solvents, resolving processing bottlenecks and eliminating particulate haziness in liquid formulations. Strict crystallization controls keep heavy metals below 10 ppm and hydrazine impurities beneath analytical detection limits. Industrial buyers incorporate this active ingredient into premium dermocosmetic serums, anti-glycation creams, sports nutrition powders, and longevity supplements. High thermal stability up to 80°C prevents degradation during standard batch heating. Global brand owners gain decisive market advantage through verified batch consistency, predictable chemical behavior, and reduced batch-to-batch testing overhead.
Core Functional Mechanisms & Target Formulations
1. Core Health/Functional Benefits
Advanced Glycation End-Product (AGE) Inhibition: The dipeptide reacts preferentially with reducing sugars and reactive carbonyl species (RCS). Binding free aldehyde groups prevents non-enzymatic glycosylation of structural proteins like dermal collagen and elastin.
Intracellular pH Buffering & Muscle Endurance: High pKa values allow carnosine to act as a primary proton acceptor in muscle tissue. Attenuating lactic acid accumulation delays metabolic fatigue during high-intensity physical exertion.
Metal Ion Chelation & Hydroxyl Radical Scavenging: Chelation of copper and iron ions blocks Fenton reactions directly. Quenching singlet oxygen and lipid peroxides preserves cellular membrane integrity against photo-oxidative stress.
2. Targeted Industry Applications
Premium Anti-Aging Serums: Functions as a central active component in clear, high-potency aqueous treatments targeted at yellowing skin, loss of elasticity, and collagen cross-linking.
Dietary Supplement Capsules & Longevity Tablets: Formulated into oral anti-glycation supplements, cognitive health blends, and cellular anti-senescence oral complexes.
Sports Performance & Intra-Workout Powders: Blended into sports nutrition mixes to support intracellular buffering, delay fatigue, and improve recovery rates.
Skin Barrier Repair Creams: Integrated into restorative emulsions to protect skin tissue from urban environmental pollution and oxidative stress.

Formulation & Operational Guidelines
- Recommended Addition Dosage: Cosmetic formulations require 0.1%–1.0%; dietary supplements range from 100mg to 500mg per daily serving.
- Processing Heat Stability: Thermally stable up to 80°C during short heating phases, but late-stage addition under 40°C is recommended to protect overall formulation integrity.
- Optimal pH Range: Formulations maintain stability across pH 5.5–8.0. Avoid strongly acidic environments (< pH 4.0) to prevent hydrolysis of the peptide bond.
- Incorporation Method: Dissolve directly in the water phase before emulsification. Fully compatible with polyols, ethanol up to 30% v/v, and standard thickeners.

Frequently Asked Questions (Technical & B2B Sourcing)
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for NutraJagen L-Carnosine bulk shipments?
Standard commercial MOQ starts at 1kg packaged in a sealed aluminum foil bag. Large-scale industrial orders ship in 25kg fiber drums equipped with double PE inner protective liners.
What lead time can buyers expect for 500kg or larger commercial orders?
Regular inventory buffers between 1,000kg and 2,000kg allow immediate warehouse dispatch within 48 hours. Batch production for volumes exceeding 500kg takes 7 to 10 business days.
How stable is L-Carnosine across varying pH levels and thermal processing phases?
L-Carnosine remains highly stable across pH 5.5 to 8.0 and withstands heating up to 80°C for brief processing intervals. Formulators should incorporate it below 40°C during late cooling phases for maximum bioactivity.
Does NutraJagen provide international compliance documentation for regulatory registration?
Every batch includes complete COA, MSDS, ISO22000, HACCP, and HALAL certificates. Third-party analytical verification for heavy metals, residual solvents, and microbiological purity is available.
Are OEM custom solutions or pre-dissolved liquid preparations available?
NutraJagen provides custom solution blending, private labeling, and specified mesh-size milling upon request to match exact production line requirements for global partners.
