What is Carnosic acid?

Carnosic acid is a phenolic diterpene from rosemary and sage. It activates the Nrf2 pathway, which switches on the cell’s own antioxidant enzymes.

It turns into carnosol when it reacts with oxygen.

Research on Carnosic acid

Satoh and colleagues reported in the Journal of Neurochemistry (2008) that it protected neurons from oxidative stress through Nrf2.

Other rodent studies looked at brain injury and metabolism. Data are mostly preclinical.

Weighing and handling Carnosic acid powder

Buying Carnosic acid as a powder gives you full control. Weigh out exactly what your protocol calls for, make up your own solutions, or encapsulate it yourself.

For small amounts you’ll want a scale that reads to at least 0.01g, and ideally 0.001g. Our digital scale and micro scoops make it easier to get consistent measurements. Weigh onto clean weighing paper, and close the bag or jar straight after so the powder doesn’t pick up moisture.

Making a solution from Carnosic acid powder

To make a stock solution, decide on the final volume and concentration first. For 30mL at 10mg/mL you’d weigh 300mg of Carnosic acid, dissolve it in about 25mL of solvent, then top up to exactly 30mL.

Check the compound’s solubility in your chosen solvent before you start, and try a small test amount first. Store the finished solution in a labelled glass bottle.

Purity testing for Carnosic acid

We test each batch of Carnosic acid by LC-MS, which pairs liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry. The chromatography splits the sample into its components and the mass spectrometer identifies them, which tells you both identity and purity. This batch came in at 99% or higher.

Small differences between batches are normal, so write the batch number from the label into your records. If something looks wrong when your order arrives, like discoloured powder or a cloudy solution, set it aside and don’t use it.

How to store Carnosic acid

Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use a clean, dry scoop each time, and reseal the container straight away. Label anything you decant with the compound, amount and date, and keep it out of reach of children and pets.

Common questions about the Carnosic acid powder

What can I dissolve Carnosic acid powder in?

That depends on the compound’s solubility and your protocol. Check the solubility data for your solvent first, and test a small amount before making up a full batch.

What scale do I need?

One that reads to 0.01g at minimum, and 0.001g for very small amounts. Our pocket scale reads to 0.01g.
