Function:

1. Protects epithelial cell membranes in the stomach and restores them to their normal metabolism;

2. Acts as an antioxidant and protects the stomach from alcohol and smoking-induced damage;

3. Has anti-inflammatory properties and moderates production of interleukin-8;

4. Adheres to ulcerations, acts as a barrier between them and stomach acids and helps to heal them;

5. Inhibits activity of Helicobacter pylori bacteria;

6. Does not interfere with the production of prostaglandins essential to the mucosal lining of the stomach;

7. Strengthens these mucosal linings and stimulates production of protective mucous.

Application:

Zinc carnosine has a potential to stimulate Hsp70 expression, with overexpression of Hsp70 being found to prevent the development of inflammatory process in the large intestinal mucosa provoked by various damaging factors.

Zinc carnosine possesses antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and genomic stability enhancement effects, thereby having potential in preventing gastrointestinal cancer development.

Zinc carnosine exhibits an inhibitory effect on H. pylori.
