What is Cartalax?
Working out a Cartalax peptide dose in syringe units starts with the vial itself. Cartalax is a very short synthetic research peptide. Suppliers describe it as the tripeptide Ala-Glu-Asp, sometimes shortened to AED. It belongs to the group of short “bioregulator” peptides that came out of Russian gerontology research, the same family that includes Epithalon (Epitalon). The name reflects research interest in cartilage tissue; this page makes no claims about effects.
You may see it listed as Cartalax, Cartalax peptides or AED peptide. With only three amino acids, it is among the smallest compounds in this library, and vials tend to hold more milligrams than typical peptide vials. This page covers only the reconstitution arithmetic and does not describe any use in people.
How much BAC water for a Cartalax 20mg vial?
Research vials are most commonly labeled 20 mg. Because that is a relatively large amount of powder, each unit on a U-100 syringe holds more micrograms than it would with a 5 mg or 10 mg vial at the same water volume. The chart below shows micrograms per unit for a 20 mg vial at several water volumes.
| BAC water | 20 mg vial |
|---|---|
| 2 mL | 100 mcg/unit 10 mg/mL |
| 3 mL | 66.67 mcg/unit 6.667 mg/mL |
| 4 mL | 50 mcg/unit 5 mg/mL |
| 5 mL | 40 mcg/unit 4 mg/mL |
Each cell shows mcg per unit on a U-100 syringe (100 units = 1 mL) and the resulting concentration.
More water lowers the micrograms in each unit. Volumes that divide evenly into 20 mg, such as 2, 4 or 5 mL, give round figures that are easier to re-check. None of these volumes is a recommendation; the product labeling decides what goes into the vial. For every common vial size side by side, see the BAC water to peptide ratio chart.
Worked example: cartalax 20mg reconstitution in syringe units
The calculator runs three steps. Vial mg ÷ water mL gives the concentration. The amount you enter ÷ that concentration gives the volume in mL. Volume in mL × 100 gives U-100 units. For example, if the amount you already have is 1 mg, and the vial is 20 mg with 2 mL of water added:
The math: 20 mg ÷ 2 mL = 10 mg/mL (10,000 mcg/mL), which is 100 mcg per unit. 1 mg ÷ 10,000 mcg/mL = 0.1 mL = 10 units on a U-100 syringe.
That amount is arbitrary, chosen because the result comes out clean. Because Cartalax vials are larger, amounts are often written in mg rather than mcg; either works, as long as the unit selector matches. Since 1 mg = 1,000 mcg, the same figure typed in the wrong unit is off by a factor of 1,000. Units are the same size on every U-100 syringe, and the U-100 syringe units to mL chart converts any reading back to mL.
Cartalax peptide dose calculator: what the numbers mean
A search for a cartalax peptide dose usually comes from someone who already has an amount and wants to know how it reads on a syringe. That is the whole job of this page. The calculator converts the amount you enter into mL and units based on your vial size and the water you actually added. It does not choose, suggest or check a dose, a schedule or a frequency, and nothing here should be read as guidance on using Cartalax.
Use the chart to see how the water volume changes micrograms per unit, then enter your own numbers above. If a result seems wrong, the steps to check peptide calculator math by hand will confirm it with the same formula.
Cartalax reconstitution notes from suppliers
Product labeling controls the diluent, the volume and storage. Some suppliers specify bacteriostatic water for Cartalax vials; others list sterile water. Some suppliers specify adding the liquid slowly down the inside wall of the vial and swirling rather than shaking. Storage after mixing varies by product, so follow the label and a qualified professional.
Some bioregulator products are also sold as oral capsules. The calculator applies only to powder vials reconstituted with a measured volume of liquid, not to capsules. A few general points apply to any vial:
- Record the water volume and the mixing date on the vial.
- Bacteriostatic water contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol, which slows some bacterial growth but does not sterilize. The guide to bacteriostatic water vs sterile water compares the two diluents.
- An opened multi-dose vial is commonly dated and discarded within 28 days unless the manufacturer specifies a different date.
Is Cartalax FDA-approved?
Cartalax is not an FDA-approved drug. Vials sold online are labeled for research use only and carry no approved labeling, so identity, purity and sterility depend on the supplier. Products sold under the same name can differ in fill amount and form.
A correct calculation cannot confirm what is in a vial. It only relates the label amount, the water you added and the syringe marks. To run the same math for other research peptides, browse the peptide library.
Cartalax FAQ
What is Cartalax?
Cartalax is a short research peptide from the bioregulator group, described by suppliers as the tripeptide Ala-Glu-Asp. Research-labeled vials are not FDA-approved products.
How much BAC water goes in a Cartalax 20mg vial?
There is no single correct amount. The water volume only changes the concentration. The chart on this page shows mcg per syringe unit for several volumes; the product labeling decides the diluent and volume.
Is this a Cartalax peptide dose calculator?
It converts an amount you already have into mL and U-100 syringe units. It does not recommend or check any dose, schedule or frequency.
Does the calculator work for Cartalax capsules?
No. It applies only to powder vials reconstituted with a measured volume of liquid.
Should I enter Cartalax amounts in mg or mcg?
Either works, as long as the unit selector matches what you type. Larger vials often make mg more convenient, and 1 mg equals 1,000 mcg.
