Could someone who knows double check that anserine is actually found in the muscle and brain of mammals as I found the following at the website www.benbest.com/nutrceut/carnosine.html:
"Anserine (N-methyl carnosine) also has properties similar to carnosine & homocarnosine, but anserine is not found in mammalian muscle or brain. Birds, however, have very high concentrations of anserine in their muscle & brain. It may not be coincidental that anserine has about 5 times the anti-oxidant capability of carnosine and that birds have much longer lifespans than similarly-sized mammals"
