The Cartalax Did It! My Knee Feels So Much Better!

@iMemphis18 any updates?
@Reactive3078 Eh.... i didnt notice much at all tbh, but i was doing 2mg daily. I heard people say to do up to 5mg..... so i might try that, but honestly dont think its worth the money. My body prob reacts differently than others, so others might have better experience than me.

How long were you doing 2mg a day?
I'm interested in the cartilage repair aspects, but the size of the dose is rather disconcerting for me. I'm effectively micro dosing BPC and TB4 (0.5mg daily of both) and that's working fine for me. So I'm hesitant to commit to the 2-5mg a day I'm seeing in protocols. -
GLP-1 has real trial support of symptoms relief and slow down cartilage degeneration (possible regeneration - not yet proven). Everything else is all anecdote.

https://howardluksmd.substack.com/p/glp1s-ozempic-might-actually-rebuildYeah, the research on joint health and repair is quite compelling, if not yet proven.

I will sometimes double it but haven’t gone higher.

I think I have enough for another 3-4 weeks. If i dont notice anything at all, ill likely discontinue it.

@ResearchCat No problems, I'm typically a nit picker myself. I had thought 500mcg was typical, but some of the protocol's I've seen are insane and had me wondering, 2mg daily. Then again, part of it is probably an apples and oranges comparison. Most of the high dose protocol's I'm seeing aren't wolverine, I was just looking a the high end of one titration curve.

@iMemphis18 Thanks, I'm curious so please let me know. Also, are you using it in conjunction with BCP or TB4?

I am currently in the middle of a modified Cartalax protocol that I saw mentioned in a couple of different forums I am in to hopefully help address hip issues. I am also cycling in TB4 at 2mg 3x/week. I am only currently mid way through my first cycle, so not much improvement to report.

@BoxerLover Are you following the cartalax protocol completely?

@rmchrist See, I am puzzled why even some recognized voices say it should be injected next to the injury site subcutaneously. The theory is, subcutaneous injection targets the subcutaneous fat layer under the skin, which is part of the skin as an organ rather than whatever organ is injured, a joint or a disc. Skin has its own blood vessel system quite separated from the joints under it, so the injection is absorbed through the skin into the blood and is distributed around the body, and then it can get into the joints. It makes me think that either the people inject directly into the joint tissue to have a direct effect, which is not subcutaneous injection anymore, or it is a placebo effect.

@Reactive3078 Yes I am... I started at 2mg and and increased by 500mcg every two weeks. I'm currently on week 8 at 3.5mg.

I highly recommend the KPV. I started off using KLOW and Wolverine and was so surprised when it worked immediately and I no longer felt pain. Then I had to stop the KLOW because I couldn't handle the GHK-CU stinging (I'll probably retry once I've forgotten how much it stung, I may have been using too short of a needle) and the joint pain cane right back.
I'm convinced it's the KPV dealing with the joint inflammation that had the extraordinary effects that I initially didn’t feel.@seadracos
I does sting like a mutha. The KPV is working great! Glad it's working for you. -
@vpeps I was sort of thinking the same thing concerning injecting into the joint tissue. I think that is truly the only way to “localize” the injection and not have it diffused throughout the body.
