l-Carnosine shows potential in ADHD
This study looked into how effective l-carnosine can be when added to standard ADHD medication, methylphenidate. Over eight weeks, we monitored 56 children with ADHD, comparing those given l-carnosine to those receiving a placebo. Some positive results appeared in parent-rated attention measures, indicating that l-carnosine might offer some benefit. However, improvements were not seen in teacher assessments, suggesting limited effects overall. While the findings show promise, more research is needed to confirm these results and explore different dosages.

Improved morning wakefulness
8 people found this helpful
It became easier to wake up in the morning after I began taking Ajinomoto's "Every morning histidine," which contains 1650mg of the ingredient. For two years, I've struggled to get up due to my possible ADHD, often oversleeping for more than 15 hours on holidays. Although it's not a complete solution, I’ve noticed significant improvement since starting this.

Calmed tics

Excellent product! It's a staple in our household. Both my son and I use carnosine for its anti-ageing properties and health benefits. We initially bought it for my son’s tics, and it has certainly helped to calm him. Additionally, L-carnosine is reputed to assist with frontal lobe function, relating to ADHD, and the quality seems consistently good.

Improved understanding

It is said that combining muscle titanium with protein can help absorption. I purchased this for my son, who has ASD and ADHD, and after two weeks of taking 400mg with meals, I've noticed a marked improvement. He's more responsive in conversations and his mood is noticeably more stable. I combine it with Omega-3, magnesium, and zinc, carefully staggering the timings for the magnesium and zinc.

Language skills enhanced
The child has both ADD and ADHD, with very poor language skills. After taking this for a while, I've observed an improvement in his language expression, although he has become rather irritable. When he doesn't get what he wants, he tends to get angry quickly.
