What's the upper limit of carnosine?

[Guest guest]

We've had success using carnosine for my DD for the past few weeks and are

giving 200 mg twice daily, which is the limit that I've seen posted here by Andy

for children in the 40 - 50 lb range.

Does anyone have further recommendations for dosing carnosine by body weight?

What negatives do people notice with this supplement if any? Have negatives gone

away after stopping the supplement?

For my DD, she seems less emotional, less impulsive and more even in her moods

since using this. The effect is mild but noticeable by a few of us around her,

so I'm tempted to try more.

Any advice?

Thanks,

Hi, I don't know the answer to your questions, but I do know carnosine does

build up and you have to take breaks from supplementing it periodically.

Personally, I would be cautious about supplementing any amino acid in a high

amount. I was giving my son the same amount as you are now (with zinc) for

about two months (for speech), then I stopped to try Vinpocetine. I didn't see

any ill effects from stopping the Carnosine, but I did see really great effects

from starting the Vinpocetine afterward (speech wise/conversational), have no

idea if it is related.

These are the research articles by Dr. Chez on l-carnosine.  They

should help you. 

 

My son has been on l-carnosine for a long time now.  No aderse side effects and

we did see a language boost when we started it.

 

Best wishes for improved health.
