THE CARTILAGE BUILDER
Cartalax
Joint and cartilage support through gene regulation
Also known as: AED (Ala-Glu-Asp), T-31
Overview
Cartalax is a synthetic tripeptide designed to support cartilage and connective tissue health. It works by entering joint cells and modifying gene expression to promote tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and slow degenerative processes. It's particularly useful for osteoarthritis and age-related joint decline.
