Compound library / Longevity / Anti-aging
Naturally occurring dipeptide (beta-alanine + histidine) found in muscle and brain, explored for anti-glycation, antioxidant, and anti-aging effects. Also involved in intracellular pH buffering during high-intensity exercise.

BioHack Track models Carnosine at a half-life of 1 hours, so every dose you log is decayed against that curve and the app shows what is still circulating — not just what you typed.
Oral capsule; no reconstitution needed.
Store at room temperature.
Generally well tolerated. High serum carnosinase activity in humans limits plasma bioavailability — some researchers combine it with carnosinase inhibitors or use beta-alanine separately.
Track Carnosine in BioHack Track. Half-life, dose range and route come pre-filled from this library — log a dose and the app counts your vial down, models what is in your system, and puts it on the same chart as your labs and body composition.
These open a search of each database for Carnosine — they are not citations, and nothing here is evidence for any particular dose. The same links are in the app.
General reference compiled for use inside the app, not medical advice and not a recommendation to take anything. Dose ranges are what is commonly discussed, not a prescription. Talk to a qualified healthcare professional.
