Hi Ray:
I have read that Carnosine has an important role in eye health, too.
I'm a bit confused about this substance. I've seen it referred to as an amino acid, but I don't believe it is an AA (???).
I'm really trying to increase my daily anti-oxidant consumption, as neuro-protectors to avoid any oxidative degeneration in my brain (elsewhere too!). Is there any evidence that taking psychiatric drugs (in my case SSRI's & benzo's)
A) Has an impact on brain oxidation (i.e increases it). B)Negatively interferes with the action of anti-oxidants C) Cause me to need higher doses of anti-oxidants (or specific anti-oxidants)?????????
Carnosine would seem like a good addition.
Thanks.
Jas
