Overview
Cartalax is a short bioregulator peptide developed by Russian researchers, aimed at cartilage tissue maintenance. It’s a niche compound — most common in joint-repair stacks alongside BPC-157.
Preparation
Reconstitute a 20 mg vial with 3 mL of bacteriostatic water (BAC) for a ~6.67 mg/mL concentration. Refrigerate after mixing.
| Vial | BAC | Concentration |
|---|---|---|
| 20 mg | 3 mL | 6.67 mg/mL |
Protocol
| Period | Dose | Units (@ 6.67 mg/mL) | Frequency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weeks 1–2 | 2,000 mcg (2 mg) | 30 units (0.30 mL) | 1x/day |
| Weeks 3–4 | 3,000 mcg (3 mg) | 45 units (0.45 mL) | 1x/day |
| Weeks 5–8 | 4,000 mcg (4 mg) | 60 units (0.60 mL) | 1x/day |
| Weeks 9–12 | 5,000 mcg (5 mg) | 75 units (0.75 mL) | 1x/day |
Cycle
8–12 week cycles, then 4–6 weeks off. Often run alongside BPC-157 for joint work.
