SS-31
Research PeptideAlso known as: Elamipretide, Bendavia, MTP-131
What is SS-31?
SS-31 is a mitochondria-targeted peptide being investigated for mitochondrial dysfunction, heart failure, and age-related diseases.
How It Works
SS-31 concentrates in mitochondrial inner membranes, stabilizing cardiolipin and improving electron transport chain efficiency while reducing oxidative stress.
What Research Shows
Key Findings:
- Improves mitochondrial function
- In clinical trials for heart failure
- May reduce cellular oxidative stress
Limited Human Research
Most research on SS-31 has been conducted in animal models. Human clinical trials are limited or absent. Results may not translate directly to humans.
Dosing Protocol
These are general guidelines based on research literature and community protocols. Individual dosing should be determined by a qualified healthcare provider.
Safety & Risks
Reported Side Effects:
Contraindications:
- Pregnancy
- Severe renal impairment
Important: This information is for research purposes only. Always consult with a qualified healthcare provider before using any peptide. Never use peptides without proper medical supervision.
Sourcing & Quality
Quality varies significantly between peptide sources. When sourcing SS-31, consider:
- Third-party testing (HPLC, Mass Spectrometry)
- Certificate of Analysis (CoA) availability
- Purity levels (>98% recommended)
- Beware of LPS (endotoxin) contamination
