CARTALAX: CARTILAGE AND JOINT SUPPORT

OVERVIEW:

• Cartalax is a synthetic bioregulatory peptide composed of three amino acids: alanine, glutamic acid, and aspartic acid (AED)

• Developed as part of the Russian Khavinson peptide family at the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology

• Tissue-specific bioregulator targeting cartilage and connective tissue at the cellular and genetic level

WHAT DOES CARTALAX DO?

• Supports cartilage regeneration and repair

• Reduces joint inflammation and stiffness

• Improves joint mobility and flexibility

• Enhances collagen and proteoglycan synthesis

• Slows age-related cartilage degeneration

USES:

• Joint health and cartilage support

• Osteoarthritis and osteoporosis support

• Recovery from joint injuries or fractures

• Age-related joint degeneration prevention

• Athletic recovery and joint protection

• Post-surgical joint rehabilitation

CARTALAX RESEARCH

Cartilage Regeneration: Research suggests Cartalax may stimulate chondrocyte proliferation and enhance the synthesis of proteoglycans and collagen, key components of cartilage extracellular matrix

Cellular Anti-Aging Effects: Cartalax increases cell proliferation rates and beneficially alters the levels of various cytokines and signaling molecules associated with senescence, returning older cells to a more youthful state

Fibroblast Function: In cultured fibroblast models, Cartalax increases proliferation markers such as Ki-67 and CD98hc while reducing caspase-3-mediated apoptosis, suggesting enhanced cell survival and replicative capacity

Bone Metabolism: Cartalax may affect bone metabolism by modulating the activity of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, potentially contributing to improved bone density and strength

Collagen Production: Cartalax contributes to the synthesis of Type II collagen, a crucial structural protein for cartilage, strengthening cartilage and improving its resilience

Clinical Evidence: A clinical study established the effectiveness of Cartalax in the complex treatment of patients suffering from spinal osteochondrosis, osteoarthrosis, osteoporosis, after injuries and fractures

Potential Mechanism of Action: Cartalax works through bioregulatory pathways:

1. Influences gene expression in chondrocytes (cartilage cells)

2. Enhances fibroblast activity and extracellular matrix production

3. Reduces pro-inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress

4. Modulates cellular senescence pathways (p53, p16, SIRT-6)

5. Decreases MMP-9 activity, preserving collagen integrity

6. Supports synovial fluid quality and joint lubrication

CARTALAX LIFESTYLE SUPPORT

LIFESTYLE SUPPORT: 

• Joint-supportive nutrition: collagen peptides, bone broth, gelatin

• Anti-inflammatory diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids

• Adequate vitamin D, calcium, and magnesium for bone health

• Low-impact exercise: swimming, cycling, yoga

• Weight management to reduce joint stress

• Physical therapy and appropriate rehabilitation exercises

WHAT TO EXPECT:

IMPORTANT: Cartalax works at the cellular level - effects build gradually!

• Joint comfort may improve within 2-4 weeks

• Cartilage regeneration is a slow process requiring months

• Best results with consistent long-term use (3-6 months)

• Effects are cumulative and support tissue health over time

• Most effective when combined with joint-protective lifestyle

CARTALAX DOSING + CYCLING

Injectable Protocol: 10-20mg per cycle

Cycling: 10-20 days on, 6-8 weeks off, repeat 2-3 times per year

• Subcutaneous injection (abdomen, thigh, or flank)

• Can be administered daily or every other day

• Rotate injection sites to prevent irritation

• Typical cycle: 10 injections over 10-20 days

CARTALAX DOSING + CYCLING

Oral Capsule Protocol: 10mg daily

Cartalax	Capsule Strength	Dose	Frequency	Supply
Oral Capsules	10mg per capsule	10mg	1-2 capsules daily	10-30 days

Cycling: 10-30 days on, 1-2 months off, repeat cycles as needed

• Recommended step-wise use: first 4 weeks synthetic peptides (Cartalax), followed by 1-2 months of natural peptides

• Take with or without food

• Best absorbed on empty stomach

• Can be combined with other joint support supplements

  
  

CARTALAX: SCREENING

Cartalax is generally well-tolerated with minimal contraindications.

Screening Questions: 

• Do you have any known tumor, cancer or history of having cancer?

• Are you pregnant or breastfeeding?

• Do you have severe kidney or liver disease?

• Are you allergic to any peptides or amino acids?

Reasons: 

• As a bioregulator affecting cell proliferation, caution advised with cancer history

• Insufficient safety data during pregnancy/breastfeeding

• Bioregulators should be used cautiously with organ dysfunction

Note: Cartalax is a legitimate clinical tool in Russia used in clinical and anti-aging medicine settings, but in most other countries it is considered an experimental research compound with no legal approval for medical use
