SS31

SS-31 – Overview

SS-31 (also called Elamipretide) is a mitochondria-targeting peptide. It is primarily studied for supporting cellular energy production, protecting mitochondria from oxidative stress, and improving organ and tissue function.

How SS-31 Works

SS-31 works by:

✔ Protecting mitochondria

• Binds to cardiolipin in the inner mitochondrial membrane

• Prevents oxidative damage and stabilizes mitochondrial function

✔ Enhancing ATP production

• Supports energy generation in cells

• Improves efficiency of cellular metabolism

✔ Reducing oxidative stress

• Neutralizes reactive oxygen species (ROS)

• Protects cells from aging-related damage

✔ Supporting organ function

• Particularly beneficial for heart, kidneys, muscles, and brain tissue
