Cartalax
Tripeptide bioregulator researched for cartilage and joint support.
Mechanism of Action
A synthetic tripeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp) in the Khavinson short-peptide family. Research suggests gene-expression modulation in chondrocytes and fibroblasts, supporting extracellular matrix synthesis and reducing cartilage degradation markers.
Research Areas
