Dosage protocol · Healing & Recovery
Cartalax 20 mg
Example daily range: 2,000–5,000 mcg once daily (gradual titration).
- Reconstitute: Add 3.0 mL bacteriostatic water → ~6.67 mg/mL concentration.
- Example daily range: 2,000–5,000 mcg once daily (gradual titration).
- Easy measuring: At 6.67 mg/mL, 1 unit = 0.01 mL ≈ 66.7 mcg on a U‑100 insulin syringe.
- Storage: Lyophilized: store at 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F) or freeze at −20 °C (−4 °F) for long‑term; after reconstitution, refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F); avoid freeze–thaw cycles.

How it works
Cartalax is a synthetic tripeptide made from three amino acids — alanine, glutamic acid, and aspartic acid — commonly written as Ala-Glu-Asp or AED. PubChem lists it as alanyl-glutamyl-aspartic acid, with a molecular formula of C12H19N3O8 and a molecular weight of about 333 g/mol.[1] Like other peptide bioregulators, it is discussed mainly in connection with cartilage, connective tissue, and cellular-aging biology rather than as an approved therapeutic.
Benefits & side effects
There is no FDA-approved label for Cartalax and therefore no official adverse-reaction, warning, or contraindication data.[6][7] Concerns that generally apply to unapproved or poorly characterized peptides are relevant background but not Cartalax-specific findings:
- Inconsistent potency and manufacturing impurities
- Contamination risk in unregulated products
- Unpredictable immune reactions
People who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have autoimmune disease or a cancer history, or take complex medication regimens should recognize that essentially no safety data exist for this compound in those populations.[9]
