What Is It?
Cartalax
Cartilage-targeted bioregulator.
Bacteriostatic Water
Sterile water containing a bacteriostatic preservative, commonly used when preparing multi-use research vials.
How To Mix Cartalax
1
CleanUse alcohol swabs to clean the tops of both vials.
2
Draw BAC WaterDraw the selected amount of bacteriostatic water.
3
Inject SlowlyAdd the liquid slowly down the side of the vial.
4
Swirl GentlyDo not shake. Swirl gently until dissolved.

Best Practices & Common Mistakes
Best Practices
- Use sterile technique.
- Protect from light and heat.
- Store refrigerated when appropriate.
- Use clean syringe-unit math before measuring.
Common Mistakes
- Confusing milligrams with milliliters.
- Choosing an option with awkward decimal units.
- Using too little liquid for very small measurements.
- Shaking the vial aggressively.
Cartalax Storage & Handling
Lyophilized Powder: −20°C (−4°F) for long-term storage (up to 24 months). Refrigeration 2–8°C (36–46°F) for short-term use (up to ~3 months). Original sealed vial in the freezer is safest.
Reconstituted Solution: 2–8°C (36–46°F), use within ~7–14 days. Keep sealed, avoid light, and do not repeat freeze-thaw cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Divide mcg by 1000 to get mg. For example, 100 mcg = 0.1 mg; 200 mcg = 0.2 mg; 300 mcg = 0.3 mg. Enter this decimal value in the “Desired dose” field. Be careful not to enter the mcg number as mg – 100 mg instead of 0.1 mg would be 1000× too high and likely show “Poor” or impossible volumes.
With 10 mg in 1 mL, concentration = 10 mg/mL. For 0.1 mg, volume = 0.01 mL = 1 unit on a 100‑unit syringe. The calculator marks any volume below 4 units as “Poor” because it is extremely difficult to measure accurately. To fix this, use a larger BAC volume: e.g., 10 mg vial + 5 mL BAC → 2 mg/mL → 0.1 mg = 0.05 mL = 5 units → now “Usable” or “Good” if it lands on a whole unit. Even better: use a 5 mg vial + 5 mL BAC → 1 mg/mL → 0.1 mg = 0.1 mL = 10 units → “Best”. The color coding guides you.
For a 0.2 mg dose on a 100‑unit syringe, aim for units that are multiples of 5. Examples:
5 mg vial + 5 mL BAC → 1 mg/mL → 0.2 mg = 0.2 mL = 20 units (×5 → Best)
6 mg vial + 3 mL BAC → 2 mg/mL → 0.2 mg = 0.1 mL = 10 units (×5 → Best)
10 mg vial + 5 mL BAC → 2 mg/mL → 0.2 mg = 0.1 mL = 10 units (×5 → Best)
Avoid 1 mL BAC with small doses – it creates very high concentration and tiny volumes. The calculator highlights green (Best) for the most accurate draws.
5 mg vial + 5 mL BAC → 1 mg/mL → 0.2 mg = 0.2 mL = 20 units (×5 → Best)
6 mg vial + 3 mL BAC → 2 mg/mL → 0.2 mg = 0.1 mL = 10 units (×5 → Best)
10 mg vial + 5 mL BAC → 2 mg/mL → 0.2 mg = 0.1 mL = 10 units (×5 → Best)
Avoid 1 mL BAC with small doses – it creates very high concentration and tiny volumes. The calculator highlights green (Best) for the most accurate draws.
Yes, provided you reconstitute with bacteriostatic water and store the vial refrigerated (2–8°C). Bacteriostatic water preserves the vial for about 28–30 days. For courses longer than 30 days, you will likely need multiple vials. The calculator’s “Doses per vial” display helps you plan. For example, a 5 mg vial at 0.2 mg per dose gives 25 full doses (5 / 0.2 = 25). If your course requires 60 daily doses, you will need 3 vials. Plan your reconstitution schedule accordingly.
Yes, the calculator assumes complete solubility at the concentrations generated by the chosen BAC volumes (1,2,3,5 mL). Cartalax is generally soluble in water, but very high concentrations (e.g., 50 mg in 1 mL = 50 mg/mL) may cause cloudiness or incomplete dissolution. The calculator does not warn about this. If you see a precipitate or gel, add more BAC water than the calculator’s preset options (e.g., use 5 mL for any vial above 10 mg). Always inspect the solution before drawing.
Practical takeaway: If your real goal is weight or metabolic health, the most useful next step is discussing approved treatment options with a clinician rather than relying on an unapproved compound.
