Effects of carnosine supplementation on glucose metabolism: pilot clinical trial
A small randomized pilot in adults whose blood sugar handling had already started to drift. Half received carnosine, half placebo, and the researchers tracked how efficiently the body was responding to its own insulin.
Key takeaway
Insulin sensitivity readouts improved in the carnosine group relative to placebo — a promising signal from a pilot-sized study that still needs larger replication.
