SS-31

Description

Supplied as a lyophilized powder that must be reconstituted with bacteriostatic water prior to use.

📌 What Is SS-31 (Elamipretide)?
-SS-31 is a synthetic tetrapeptide that targets mitochondria to enhance cellular energy production and protect cells from oxidative stress. It binds specifically to cardiolipin, a lipid on the inner mitochondrial membrane, helping stabilize mitochondrial structure and improve function.

⚡ Mitochondrial Energy Boost
-Increases ATP production and improves overall cellular energy output
🛡️ Oxidative Stress Protection
-Reduces reactive oxygen species (ROS) and prevents mitochondrial damage and cell death
💪 Muscle Function & Performance
-Supports endurance, muscle energetics, and reduces fatigue in preclinical studies
❤️ Cardiovascular Health
-Promotes heart muscle mitochondrial function, potentially mitigating age-related cardiac decline
🧠 Neuroprotection
-Supports brain cell health, synaptic function, and resistance to oxidative stress
🩹 Mitochondrial Disorder Support
-Investigated for rare conditions involving mitochondrial dysfunction, including some approved indications

⚙️ Mechanism of Action
-SS-31 penetrates cell membranes and accumulates in mitochondria
-Binds to cardiolipin, stabilizing mitochondrial membranes and electron transport chain function
-Reduces ROS production and prevents mitochondrial swelling or permeability changes
-Enhances ATP generation, maintains membrane potential, and improves overall cellular energy and resilience

📈 Key Benefits
✅ Increases cellular energy and mitochondrial efficiency
✅ Protects cells from oxidative damage
✅ Supports muscle endurance, strength, and recovery
✅ May benefit heart, nervous system, and other organ functions
✅ Shows research potential for mitochondrial dysfunction and age-related decline

⚠️ Important Notes
-Recently approved under the brand Elamipretide (Forzinity) for certain rare mitochondrial disorders like Barth syndrome
-Broader uses (anti-aging, performance enhancement, longevity, general wellness) remain experimental and primarily supported by preclinical or early clinical studies
-Research-use only: Not FDA-approved for general medical or cosmetic applications
-For Research Use Only — Not for Human Consumption
