    5mg, .40/40 units. Small right now as I just started. Will be increasing about 10 units every 4 or 5 days until something changes, or not.

    Surprised at how little Cartalax is available in larger than 20mg vials. 10mg vials will not last long.

      One thing to be considered IF there's lots, or even small amounts of scar tissue, I find it's more beneficial to loosen it up a bit first. Depending upon where the scar is, you can take a WOODEN rolling pen and just roll it over the area a bit; don't apply any pressure yet. The scar will tighten at first to protect itself, but then will loosen as it gets used to the roll. As it gets more comfortable, apply a little pressure at a time. Afterward, inject. This method works wonders! 19th century secret to easing scar tissue works.

        @Eleanor I doubt that people use it in such high doses commonly. Not that it would hurt, you are ok to use 10mg or more safely. I know, as a pill (100mcg) it is used up to 3 pills 3 times a day (so, 0.9 mg) as an aggressive protocol for 45 days for advanced knee arthritis.

        attentiion is all you need

          I always start small. No doubt it's okay for most but I have immune and nerve deficiencies due to what was advanced Lyme Disease.

              Sorry. I started with 5mg dose, which after reconstitution is 40 units on 1cc syringe.

                @Eleanor Do you have a 25mg vial then with 2ml of water, or 20mg with 1.6 ml?

                  I had a 25mg vial and I always put a bit of extra BAC. I prefer to pull between 20 and 60ish or so on syringe. More comfy. I don't remember the exact on this one. I used Randy calculator and account for the ml or so trapped in the neck of the syringe.

                    I'll be going back to inject in mid to lower left thigh, as I can feel some pain in my knee today, after inject in hip. Might try 2 injections; one in each place.

                      It took only about 48 or so hours for the Cartalax to ease my knee pain by more than 50%, and am pain free all day with only 1 injection.

                      The problem when I started is I was injecting in the morning when my knee was very sore upon waking. I switched to just before bedtime and well reduced pain the following morning and throughout the day.

                      Nice stuff!

                      @Eleanor Wow, if this is true, this is quite exciting. I just purchased Cartalax for my hips, since my doctor said my cartilage is messed up there. If this actually helps with pain, ill be over the moon. I will be pairing this with the wolverine stack, which I am already taking

                          Unfortunately, it was not lasting. Trying KPV now and it's been much better. Will see.

                          Hope you've found the help you need.

                            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.

                              @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.

                                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.

                                    Yeah, the research on joint health and repair is quite compelling, if not yet proven.

                                      Apologies for nitpicking, but this isn’t a microdose. 500mcg/500mcg is pretty standard. I will sometimes double it but haven’t gone higher.

                                        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.

                                        @seadracos I did it for about 2 months. I just swapped to 5MG daily a few days ago. Will used up my last remaining vials and see. I think I have enough for another 3-4 weeks. If i dont notice anything at all, ill likely discontinue it.

                                          Apologies for nitpicking, but this isn’t a microdose. 500mcg/500mcg is pretty standard. I will sometimes double it but haven’t gone higher.
