FAQ
- What is Crystagen and what amino acids does it contain?
- Crystagen is a synthetic tripeptide composed of glutamic acid, aspartic acid, and proline (Glu-Asp-Pro). It belongs to the Khavinson peptide bioregulator family and is handled as an investigational research compound only.
- How is Crystagen reconstituted for laboratory use?
- Divide milligrams of lyophilized powder by milliliters of bacteriostatic water added to calculate concentration (e.g., 20 mg ÷ 2 mL = 10 mg/mL). Add solvent slowly, swirl gently, and verify clarity before lab bench use.
- Is Crystagen listed on the WADA Prohibited List?
- Crystagen is not named on the current WADA Prohibited List. However, WADA may prohibit unnamed substances sharing a banned class, structure, or biological effect. Always verify status directly with the relevant anti-doping authority.
