UNLOCK THE CARNOSINE CODE

The Ultimate Longevity Molecule

Carnosine is a powerful natural molecule that is produced naturally in our bodies. It’s like fuel for your muscles, brain, heart, and more — keeping them strong and healthy unlike any other peptide or amino acid.

But here’s the catch: after puberty, we make less of it every year. In fact our production drops by up to 60% as we age. Over the past 100 years there have been over 3300 studies performed on what could happen in our body and brain when we raise our Carnosine Levels.

Top Indicated Benefits of Carnosine (from Current Research)

1. Antioxidant & Anti-Aging Defense

Carnosine is a powerful antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals and protects cells from oxidative stress. It helps prevent protein and DNA damage, slows glycation (a major factor in visible and internal aging), and supports cellular repair and longevity.

2. Anti-Inflammatory Support

By reducing chronic low-grade inflammation, carnosine helps maintain a balanced immune response and protects tissues from long-term damage. Studies suggest it can help calm inflammatory pathways linked to aging, metabolic stress, and joint or muscle soreness.

3. Enhanced Muscle Performance & Recovery

Inside muscle cells, carnosine acts as a natural pH buffer — preventing acid buildup during intense exercise. This buffering action helps reduce fatigue, extend endurance, and improve power output. It’s one of the reasons elite athletes across multiple sports have shown measurable performance gains with elevated carnosine levels.

4. Metabolic & Blood Sugar Balance

Clinical studies indicate that carnosine can support healthy glucose metabolism by improving insulin sensitivity and helping regulate blood sugar levels. It may also protect the pancreas and liver from oxidative stress, making it a valuable nutrient for long-term metabolic health.

5. Cognitive & Neurological Protection

Research shows that carnosine can protect the brain from oxidative damage and toxic protein buildup. It supports mitochondrial health and cellular energy in neurons, helping to maintain clarity, focus, and overall cognitive resilience as we age.

6. Full-Body Cellular Protection

From the heart and kidneys to the eyes and skin, carnosine’s protective effects extend throughout the body. It has been studied for its ability to protect tissues from damage caused by oxidation, glycation, and metabolic stress — the same processes that contribute to aging and disease.

7. A Molecule for Performance and Longevity

Carnosine supports both short-term performance and long-term wellness. Its dual action — buffering muscles for power and protecting cells from damage — makes it a foundational molecule for anyone focused on human performance, recovery, and healthy aging.

In summary:
Carnosine is a natural compound with powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, buffering, and anti-glycation properties. Research continues to explore its potential across exercise, metabolism, cognition, and aging — making it one of the most exciting molecules in human performance science today.

Why has something so powerful so unknown in the supplement market?

🚫 2. Poor Absorption in the Gut

The Carnosine Conundrum:

Until recently, scientists have failed to unlock the Carnosine Code with effective methods of supplementation or medical interventions. So the benefits achieved in the studies have remained elusive to the commercial market. Here's Why:

• A lot of the carnosine you swallow gets broken down in your stomach and intestines.

• Even if some makes it through, your liver often breaks down more of it before it can do much good.

  
  Scientific Insights:

• Renner et al. (2016) found that less than 15% of the carnosine people swallow actually makes it through the gut intact.

• Carnosine that does make it into your blood only sticks around for a few minutes to an hour.

• That means it doesn’t stay around long enough to really help places like your muscles and brain.

  
  Scientific Insights:

• Artioli et al. (2012) found that even with high doses, carnosine’s half-life in blood was less than 30 minutes.

• Even if carnosine survives the stomach and gets into your blood, it has a hard time making it to places like your muscles, brain, and heart because it gets broken down too quickly.

  
  Scientific Insights:

• Kang et al. (2015) found that less than 5% of the carnosine people took by mouth actually made it to their muscle tissue.

🚫 3. It Doesn’t Last Long in the Blood

🚫 4. It Struggles to Reach Target Tissues

🚫 1. It Breaks Down Too Fast

• When you swallow carnosine, your blood is full of an enzyme called carnosinase that quickly tears it apart, splitting it into beta-alanine and histidine before it can get where it needs to go.

• Unfortunately, humans have a lot more of this enzyme than other animals, which is why carnosine supplements just don’t last long in our bodies.

  
  Scientific Insights:

• Bauer et al. (2013) found that blood levels of carnosine dropped by over 90% within an hour after taking it by mouth.

• Boldyrev et al. (2010) confirmed that carnosinase in the blood keeps carnosine from staying around long enough to do its job.

Is there a way to unlock the Carnosine Code?

Nearly two decades ago, the story of LactiGo began with a simple question:
What if we could unlock the true power of carnosine — not through capsules or powders, but through the skin itself?

In 2005, a company called Ethoderm acquired the intellectual property for a topical formula that claimed to buffer lactic acid. At first, the focus was on sports performance — helping athletes recover faster and perform longer. But what followed over the next 15 years went far beyond sport. It became one of the most advanced breakthroughs in transdermal science.

Unlocking The Carnosine Code

The Breakthrough That Changed Everything

Carnosine has been studied for decades, but until now, no one had successfully delivered it through the skin into muscle tissue. Traditional oral supplements were limited — carnosine breaks down quickly in the digestive system and struggles to reach target tissues intact.

Through years of research, development, and testing, the team behind LactiGo achieved something that had never been done before:
A patented delivery system capable of transporting water-based molecules like carnosine directly into the muscles, bypassing digestion entirely.

This scientific milestone is protected under U.S. Patent No. 10,973,868, which outlines the proprietary technology that makes LactiGo’s formula uniquely effective. You can view the full patent below:

Lactigo now has achieved 51 Patents worldwide with more on the way.

Proven in the Lab — and in the Real World

A New Era of Human Performance

Beyond the phenomenal improvements in performance and recovery shown in these studies, the data confirms something even more groundbreaking — carnosine is now being delivered into the muscles and bloodstream like never before. For the first time, we can effectively and affordably raise the body’s carnosine levels using a simple topical application. The scientific community is buzzing as decades of laboratory research are finally producing measurable, real-world results. Meanwhile, natural health practitioners are beginning to witness the remarkable impact of carnosine in real time — improving patient outcomes, accelerating recovery, and generating testimonials that are nothing short of extraordinary.

This discovery doesn’t just change the way athletes train; it redefines how we think about recovery, endurance, aging, longevity, and cellular health.

LactiGo’s technology has unlocked the carnosine code — turning decades of theoretical promise into measurable human performance.
