SS-31 10mg

SS‑31, also known as Elamipretide, is a mitochondria‑targeted peptide designed to protect and restore mitochondrial function — the metabolic powerhouse of every human cell. By selectively binding to cardiolipin in the inner mitochondrial membrane, SS‑31 helps stabilize mitochondrial structure, reduce oxidative stress, and enhance ATP production — the primary form of cellular energy.

These actions make SS‑31 a compelling investigational peptide in research on energy decline, aging‑associated mitochondrial dysfunction, metabolic resilience, and cellular vitality support. Its unique mechanism distinguishes it from general antioxidants by acting directly where energy is produced within the cell.

Key Features

🧬 Mitochondria‑targeted peptide — Engineered for specific interaction with inner mitochondrial membrane cardiolipin.
⚡ Supports ATP production — Designed to improve oxidative phosphorylation capacity in human muscle tissue.
🛡️ Anti‑oxidative mitochondrial stabilization — Helps reduce harmful electron leakage and oxidative stress at the source.
✒️ Pre‑filled sterile peptide pens for research use only — High purity delivery form for controlled experimental protocols.

Human‑Relevant Research Applications

🔬 Enhances mitochondrial ATP capacity in older adults
A randomized, double‑blind, placebo‑controlled clinical trial in healthy older adults demonstrated that a single dose of SS‑31 (Elamipretide) elevated mitochondrial energetic capacity (ATPmax) in skeletal muscle in vivo compared with placebo — the first demonstration of improved oxidative phosphorylation capacity in human mitochondria after peptide intervention.

Reconstitution & Handling Guidance

1️⃣ Use sterile bacteriostatic water (0.9% benzyl alcohol)
2️⃣ Add 3 ml of bacteriostatic water to reconstitute the peptide
3️⃣ Gently swirl until fully dissolved (do not vortex)
4️⃣ Store reconstituted peptide at 4 °C–10 °C for 2–3 months
5️⃣ Unreconstituted peptide can be stored at 4 °C–10 °C until the expiration date
