SS-31 (Elamipretide)

Description

SS-31 (Elamipretide)

SS-31 (Elamipretide) is a peptide designed to target mitochondria and is being studied for its ability to enhance cellular energy production, aid recovery, support cardiovascular function, improve muscle endurance, and promote healthy aging. It functions by attaching specifically to cardiolipin in the inner mitochondrial membrane, which helps lower oxidative stress and boost mitochondrial performance. Due to its potential to shield cells from mitochondrial deterioration linked to aging and fatigue, SS-31 has drawn significant interest in longevity science and biohacking communities.
