SS-31
The mitochondrial peptide — targeted cellular energy support that optimizes your body's power plants from the inside out, restoring efficient energy production at the deepest level.
What is SS-31?
SS-31 (also known as Elamipretide) is a mitochondria-targeted peptide. It concentrates in the inner mitochondrial membrane where it stabilizes cardiolipin — a lipid critical for mitochondrial energy production.
Think of it as direct support for your cells' power plants. As we age, mitochondrial function declines. SS-31 helps restore efficient energy production at the cellular level.
What SS-31 does
Four key mechanisms that make SS-31 one of the most targeted mitochondrial peptides available.
Mitochondrial Support
- Stabilizes cardiolipin in the inner mitochondrial membrane
- Optimizes electron transport chain efficiency
- Supports ATP (energy) production
Cellular Energy
- Improves cellular energy output
- Reduces oxidative stress at the source
- Supports organs with high energy demands (heart, brain, muscles)
Anti-Aging
- Targets one of the core drivers of aging — mitochondrial dysfunction
- Supports cellular longevity and resilience
- May slow age-related energy decline
Recovery
- Supports exercise recovery and endurance
- May improve cardiac function
- Enhances cellular repair capacity
How to use SS-31
Your provider has prescribed a protocol tailored to your goals. Here are the key details to keep in mind.
Dose
Start at 1mg daily. Your provider may increase to 2mg based on your response and goals.
Injection Site
Subcutaneous injection in the abdomen. Rotate sites daily to prevent irritation.
Duration
25-50 days depending on dose. At 1mg/day, one 50mg vial lasts 50 days. At 2mg/day, 25 days.
Storage
Keep refrigerated at all times. Reconstitute with 2mL bacteriostatic (BAC) water. Do not freeze.
Morning dosing is ideal for SS-31 — it aligns with your body's natural energy cycle and supports sustained energy throughout the day.
What to expect
Everyone responds differently, but here's what patients typically experience during an SS-31 protocol.
Week 1-2
Improved energy levels and a subtle sense of vitality. Many patients notice they feel more alert and less fatigued during daily activities.
Week 3-4
Sustained energy improvements and better exercise tolerance. Recovery from workouts feels faster, and overall stamina increases.
Week 5+
Deep cellular optimization. Recovery benefits compound, and patients report a lasting improvement in energy, endurance, and overall well-being.
Reported side effects
SS-31 is well tolerated. Most patients report nothing beyond mild injection-site effects.
- Redness, itching, or a small bump at the injection site
- Mild fatigue in the first week as cellular energy shifts
- Headache
- Temporary lightheadedness
- Mild nausea, uncommon
Reach out if fatigue deepens instead of improving after the first couple of weeks.
