SS-31 (30mg)

Mitochondrial Protection Peptide – Energy, Longevity, Cellular Resilience

What It Is

SS-31 (also known as Elamipretide) is a mitochondria-targeting tetrapeptide researched for its ability to:

● Protect mitochondrial membranes
● Improve ATP production
● Reduce oxidative stress
● Enhance cellular energy efficiency
● Support heart, muscle, and brain performance

Unlike most peptides, SS-31 has a unique ability to accumulate inside mitochondria — the
power plants of the cell — where it stabilizes cardiolipin and improves mitochondrial function directly.

Understanding SS-31 — A Metaphorical Story

Imagine your cells as cities, and inside each one is a power plant — the mitochondria.

These power plants generate electricity (ATP) that runs:

● Lights (metabolism)
● Machines (muscle performance)
● Data centers (brain function)
● Infrastructure (overall cellular health)

But over time, stress, aging, and inflammation cause damage:

● Wires fray
● Turbines slow
● Sparks fly
● The plant becomes less efficient
● Energy output drops

This is where SS-31 enters.

SS-31 is like sending in a master electrical engineer who specializes in restoring old, damaged power plants.

• SS-31 Repairs the Wiring (stabilizes cardiolipin)

Cardiolipin is a special lipid that keeps the mitochondrial “engines” stable.

When it breaks down, the power plant collapses.

SS-31 directly attaches to and protects cardiolipin — reinforcing the wiring that keeps the plant running.

• SS-31 Boosts Output (improves ATP production)

Once the wiring is secure, turbines spin faster.

Lights get brighter.
Everything runs with more power and less strain.

• SS-31 Reduces Sparks (lowers oxidative stress)

As the power plant ages, sparks (free radicals) fly everywhere, damaging nearby equipment.

SS-31 acts like an antioxidant fire-suppressor crew:

● Reduces mitochondrial ROS
● Prevents fire damage
● Keeps the machinery clean

• SS-31 Restores Backup Generators (improves efficiency under stress)

When energy demand rises — workouts, illness, aging — most power plants struggle.

SS-31 helps them stay stable even under pressure, ensuring the city runs smoothly.

• SS-31 Reawakens Failing Plants (supports aging + damaged
mitochondria)

Some power plants are so worn down they’re barely producing energy.

SS-31 helps revive them, improving energy flow throughout the entire cellular “city.”

The Result: A Stronger, More Energized Cell

With SS-31 on the job:

● Energy increases
● Stress damage decreases
● Cellular longevity improves
● Metabolic function rises
● Heart, muscle, and brain cells operate with renewed power

This is the simplest way to visualize how SS-31 supports mitochondrial resilience in research models.

FAQs

Find answers to your most pressing questions about peptide categories and their usage.

 
What is SS-31? +
SS-31 (also known as Elamipretide) is a synthetic mitochondrial-targeting peptide. Researchers study it for how it interacts with cardiolipin, a critical phospholipid inside the inner mitochondrial membrane. Think of SS-31 as a “precision mechanic” entering the engine room of the cell.
Why is SS-31 considered a mitochondrial peptide? +
Because in preclinical studies, SS-31 selectively binds to cardiolipin, which is essential for mitochondrial structure and function. It’s like a supportive scaffold that stabilizes the walls of a power plant to keep energy production efficient.
What does cardiolipin do in the cell? +
Cardiolipin is the molecule that helps mitochondrial proteins maintain structure, shape, and function. If mitochondria are engines, cardiolipin is the engine oil keeping everything running smoothly. SS-31 is studied for its interaction with this molecule.
What does research say about SS-31 and oxidative stress? +
Animal studies suggest SS-31 may help reduce mitochondrial oxidative stress by supporting the inner membrane environment. In metaphor: if free radicals are sparks flying in an engine, SS-31 is studied as a mechanic who helps reduce unnecessary sparking.
Why is SS-31 studied in relation to aging and energy decline? +
Because mitochondrial dysfunction is a hallmark of aging in animal models, researchers explore whether restoring mitochondrial stability may influence energy pathways. It’s like studying how upgrading old wiring affects power supply in an aging building
How does SS-31 differ from NAD+ or MOTS-C? +
● NAD+ fuels energy reactions ● MOTS-C regulates metabolic adaptation ● SS-31 stabilizes mitochondrial structure Together they represent: ● fuel (NAD+), ● tuning (MOTS-C), ● and engine reinforcement (SS-31).
What types of research models use SS-31? +
Preclinical work examines SS-31 in contexts like: ● mitochondrial energetics ● ischemia and reperfusion injury ● muscle fatigue ● neurodegeneration models Researchers study it the way engineers observe stress tests in high performance engines.
Does SS-31 cross cell membranes effectively? +
Yes — SS-31 is part of a class of cell-permeable tetrapeptides. Its structure allows it to enter mitochondria efficiently, like a technician with a special passkey to access restricted areas.
Why do researchers consider SS-31 a “targeted” peptide? +
Because SS-31 doesn’t randomly wander in the cell; it gravitates toward mitochondria due to its electrostatic properties. It’s like a drone programmed to fly straight to a specific building
What is known about SS-31 safety in preclinical work? +
Animal studies show a favorable profile, but SS-31: ● is not FDA-approved, ● is not intended for human use, ● and is strictly for research-only. Kaia sells it under full research-use compliance.
How should SS-31 be stored for laboratory stability? +
SS-31 should be kept: ● sealed ● cool ● protected from light ● refrigerated or frozen for long-term storage Think of it as a sensitive micro-component — precision materials stay stable only when properly preserved.
Is SS-31 legal to purchase for research purposes? +
Yes — SS-31 is legal to purchase for laboratory research, with no therapeutic or medical claims. Kaia Peptides complies strictly with research-use-only distribution standards.
