SS-31 10mg

SS-31 (also known as Elamipretide) is a mitochondria-targeted peptide that has been widely studied for its unique ability to stabilize and protect mitochondrial membranes. Unlike many antioxidants that work broadly throughout the body, SS-31 concentrates within the inner mitochondrial membrane, where it binds to cardiolipin — a critical phospholipid involved in maintaining mitochondrial structure and function.

By protecting cardiolipin, SS-31 helps optimize the electron transport chain, leading to more efficient ATP production(the body’s main energy currency). This targeted activity not only enhances cellular energy output but also helps reduce the excessive formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are byproducts of energy production that can cause cellular damage if left unchecked.

Research has demonstrated that SS-31 may lower levels of inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress markers, which are strongly linked to the progression of chronic and degenerative diseases. Because of this, SS-31 is being explored in studies relating to neurodegenerative disorders (such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s), metabolic conditions (including diabetes and insulin resistance), cardiovascular health (heart failure, ischemia-reperfusion injury), and even age-related decline in kidney function and muscle performance.

Overall, SS-31 is being investigated as a novel way to address one of the root causes of aging and disease — mitochondrial dysfunction — by not only improving energy production but also protecting cells from long-term damage.
