What makes the carnosine–magnesium delivery system unlike anything else on the market
Why the delivery system is unique
1. The problem every other product hits. Carnosine is a large, water-loving (hydrophilic) molecule, and the skin’s outer barrier is fat-loving — so it naturally repels exactly this kind of molecule. That is why ordinary creams and patches can’t carry carnosine through: it simply sits on the surface of the skin.
2. The actual invention. The breakthrough is pairing carnosine with magnesium to form a carnosine–magnesium complex. This changes how the molecule behaves so that it can cross the skin barrier — something a carnosine-only formula cannot do. That complex is the heart of the patent.
3. It’s demonstrated, not just claimed. The patent includes a 3D human-skin-model study showing the magnesium complex delivered significantly more carnosine into the lower skin layers than free carnosine on its own.
4. First of its kind. It is a patented, examined method for carrying a hydrophilic molecule like carnosine through the skin — a genuine technical first, which is exactly why no other product on the market works this way.
Patented delivery — the LactiGo difference
LactiGo is built on a patented carnosine–magnesium complex. Carnosine is a large, water-loving molecule that the skin’s natural barrier normally blocks, which is why ordinary creams and patches can’t carry it through. LactiGo’s patented method pairs carnosine with magnesium to form a complex that crosses the skin barrier — a delivery approach measured in a 3D human-skin-model study and recognised by an examined, granted patent. It’s what makes LactiGo unlike any other topical product on the market.
