Cartalax
Also known as: AED Tripeptide
Cartalax is a Khavinson bioregulator peptide (tripeptide: Ala-Glu-Asp) that targets cartilage and connective tissue. It supports collagen synthesis, improves joint health, and enhances tissue elasticity.
Beginner Basics
Plain-English guide to Cartalax
What it does
Cartalax is a short protein fragment that researchers use to support cartilage and connective tissue health by encouraging the body to produce more collagen and improve joint flexibility. It's typically studied for maintaining tissue structure and elasticity.
Typical dose
Researchers commonly use 10-20 mg taken by mouth daily, or 1-3 mg injected under the skin daily, for 10-20 days per cycle.
When to inject
If taking by mouth, take it with food; if injecting, timing is flexible but consistency matters more than the time of day.
Storage
Keep capsules at room temperature in a dry place; store mixed injectable solution in the refrigerator and use within the timeframe provided by your supplier.
First-timer tip
Start with the lower end of the dose range to see how your body responds, and space out your cycles (2-4 times per year) rather than using it continuously.

Side Effects
Mild redness, swelling, or itching at the injection site may occur within hours and typically resolves within 24-48 hours. Ensure proper site rotation and sterile technique to minimise risk.
Localised urticaria or mild rash may occur in individuals with sensitivity to peptides. Discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider if symptoms develop.
Occasional mild headache has been reported in early treatment cycles. Typically resolves with continued use or dose adjustment.
Mild nausea or stomach upset may occur with oral capsules, particularly on an empty stomach. Take with food as directed to minimise.
Repeated injections at the same site can cause localised fat loss or thickening. Prevent by rotating injection sites systematically with each dose and maintaining at least 1 inch between injection points.

Reconstitution Guide
Do not use saline or bacteriostatic saline, use only bacteriostatic water for reconstitution
Do not shake the vial vigorously; gentle swirling prevents peptide degradation
Discard immediately if the solution appears cloudy, discolored, or contains visible particles
Use within 30 days of reconstitution when stored at 2-8°C
Do not freeze the reconstituted solution; freezing may denature the peptide

Molecular and Pharmacological Data
| Sequence | Members only |
Cartalax is a tripeptide bioregulator (Ala-Glu-Asp) that acts as a tissue-specific regulator targeting cartilage and connective tissue metabolism. It stimulates collagen synthesis and fibroblast activity, enhancing extracellular matrix production and tissue repair. The peptide promotes joint elasticity and structural integrity by modulating growth factors and cellular signalling pathways involved in cartilage homeostasis.
