What is Cartalax?

Cartalax is a synthetic tripeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp) from the Khavinson bioregulator series targeting cartilage, kidney and fibroblast function. It belongs to the same ultra-short peptide bioregulator class as Vilon and Crystagen, which PeptideCompare already covers.

What does the research show?

Research is concentrated in cartilage-aging and connective-tissue models, with Eastern European groups reporting effects on chondrocyte and fibroblast gene expression. No independently replicated human trials are publicly available as of mid-2026.

EU legal status

Not approved as a medicine anywhere in the EU. Sold by a small number of specialist vendors for laboratory connective-tissue research only.

Mechanistic claims about tissue-specific gene regulation from a 3-amino-acid sequence are difficult to verify independently, and the literature base is narrow.
✓ PeptideCompare monitors Cartalax across EU research suppliers. Verify any vendor's COA and sequence/identity claims directly before ordering — see our COA guide.

Pharmacokinetics

No established human pharmacokinetic data. Published human PK parameters for this compound are not available; reported data are limited to animal models or absent. No curve is shown, to avoid implying data that does not exist.

Potency retained over time

Each line is one storage condition: it starts at 100% and declines as potency is lost. Above the dotted 80% line the material is considered reliable — hover the chart for exact values.
