Cartalax

aka Ala-Glu-Asp

Healing & Recovery

Mechanism

Cartalax is a synthetic tripeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp / AED) from the Khavinson bioregulator series, studied in Russian preclinical models on fibroblast and chondrocyte cultures. Not FDA-approved; no Western clinical trials exist, and all published evidence originates from a single research group.

Transport of Biologically Active Ultrashort Peptides Using POT and LAT Carriers
Khavinson V, Linkova N, Kozhevnikova E, Dyatlova A, Petukhov M. · International journal of molecular sciences (2022) · review

Ultrashort peptides (USPs), consisting of 2-7 amino-acid residues, are a group of signaling molecules that regulate gene expression and protein synthesis under normal conditions in various diseases and ageing. USPs serve as a basis for the development of drugs with a targeted mechanism of action.
