Body Weight, Kidneys, Salt Sensitivity, and Blood Pressure

In the process of normal metabolism, nerves must stimulate stored fat (white adipose tissue). However, if a person is overweight then nerves tend to excessively stimulate stored fat because that fat is somewhat numb and less metabolically responsive.

Extra nerve drive is a form of stress to the kidneys that can strain blood pressure fitness. The kidneys are a blood filter and must work efficiently to support proper blood pressure function. Salt sensitivity (too much fluid retention after salt intake) is also a sign of related kidney stress. Carnosine is an antioxidant that has been shown to directly protect the kidneys from such nerve-driven and salt-related stress.*

Carnosine has a general rejuvenating effect on body tissues, helping them to maintain elasticity. Carnosine also protects collagen-rich tissues from sugar residues that may promote stiffening. These anti-caramelizing and anti-aging properties of carnosine are the subject of intense scientific study.*

The various nutritional functions of carnosine make it a beneficial nutrient for heart strength, kidney integrity, and blood pressure fitness, especially if you are working on weight management program and/ or you notice you are salt sensitive.*
