What is cartalax?

Cartalax is a three amino acid peptide 'bioregulator'. The Khavinson research group that made it has studied it almost only in cells in a lab, looking at aging of cartilage cells and at osteoarthritis. This site's review found 5 studies, none of them a first-hand study in people. The only claim about people is one sentence in a 2023 review saying it was given by mouth to older people with osteoarthritis. Nobody has found the original report of that.
