Ethos N Acetyl Carnosine Eyedrops

N-Acetyl-Carnosine eyedrops have been shown to stabilize, protect against, and even improve cataracts. Carnosine, found in muscle and brain tissue, is a dipeptide composed of the amino acids beta-alanine and histidine. Researchers have studied carnosine in its various forms for decades. Its positive effects on cataracts are being revealed by numerous studies.

N-acetyl-L-carnosine is, functionally, a time-release form of carnosine. When n-acetyl-L-carnosine is administered topically to the eye, this dipeptide can move easily into both the water-soluble (aqueous) and lipid-containing (fatty) parts of the eye. Once there, it helps to prevent DNA strand breaks induced by ultraviolet radiation and enhances DNA repair. Once it has entered the lipid areas of the eye, N-acetyl-L-carnosine partially breaks down and becomes L-carnosine.
