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.
