Cartalax for creaky knees, anyone actually tried it on the joints?

Right so I've been lurking for ages and finally bit the bullet on posting. Bit of background, my knees are proper rubbish from years of rugby and now I'm back in the gym heavy, the grinding and aching after leg days is getting silly. Paracetamol barely takes the edge off and I'm not keen on daily NSAIDs long term because of what it does to the gut.

I keep seeing Cartalax mentioned in passing, never in any big thread, just people dropping the name in passing. I had a proper look at the profile here on ResearchSafe and the mechanism bit is interesting, something about a short peptide bioregulator aimed at chondrocytes and cartilage matrix. The short course based protocol bit also makes sense to me, I'd rather cycle something on and off than be on it forever.

But ngl there's basically no Western clinical data listed, and that's what gives me pause. Most of the conversation around it seems to come from the Khavinson bioregulator side of things which I'm not that familiar with.

Has anyone on here actually run Cartalax and felt a real difference in joint comfort, or is it one of those things that sounds clever on paper but does nowt in practice? And if you did run it, did you go oral capsules or the injectable course?
