Is L Carnosine from health store same as Carnaware?

[Guest guest]

I'd like to know if anyone is using L Carnosine, not in the formulation

made in Carnaware. Has anyone seen results from using health food store

L carnosine, zinc separately, and then the E tocopherol making your own

mix since those are the ingredients in Carnaware? What kind of results

did you see, and once you noticed improvement did you/are you keep

supplementing? Thanks-- Cheryl

I have been using L-Carnosine for about 6 months - in 500mgs and have not

seen a difference in my son. He has been dx w/ PDD/NOS and Apraxia. I wish I

had better results to report. He also gets 3 EFAs in a.m. and 2 EFAs/1EPA in

pm and have added 400 mg of Vit E this week. He has been on EFAs and EPAs for

almost 21/2 years - very good results on EFAs... . He also takes Liquid

Health Attention and SuperNu Thera vits. hope this helps

It makes me wonder why, and discouraged why it works for some and

not others.Carnaware does have 2.5mg of zinc and 25iu of E,so they

probably play a role in making the carnosine in carnaware Carnaware

effective...???..Thankyou for you input Phyllis, Cheryl

I wonder if you are talking about L carnitine not L carnosine. I give my son

acetyl carnitine 500 mg. Not sure if it is working yet, because we just started

it a couple of weeks ago. We added it for more focus and to hopefully fix

hypotonia in upper trunk. He is 13 and recently qualified for adaptive PE

because of gross motor delays. I hope this supplement will work to help his

severe reading disability as well.

Good Luck,

Lorraine

I would try increasing to 800 mg/day. Do you give your son zinc?

Lorraine, I did mean L Carnosine which is the main ingredient in

Carnaware which from what I gather from their web sight is supposed

to help things like focusing, attention, probably auditory processing

because I think I remember it saying some kids did better at

repeating back words and had better language skills. But as for L

carntine it is from what I gather reading here help in areas like

muscle tone(it actually helps carry fat to the cells for

utilization).We just started our daughter 3 1/2 on it 11 days ago and

we are seeing some changes in focusing and just seeming more physical

coordination. It's hard to explain but the way sha moves seems like

she's more comfortable in her own body,acting more wiggly and

twisting around ,I guesws you'd say like a normal three and a half

year old. I wish you good luck trying it with your son. Cheryl
