SS-31 Elamipretide

SS-31 (also known by its research name Elamipretide) is a groundbreaking mitochondrial-targeting peptide that is redefining the science of aging, energy, and recovery. Unlike other peptides that work on surface-level symptoms, SS-31 goes directly to the inner mitochondrial membrane, where it restores function at the cellular power source itself.

Mitochondria are responsible for creating ATP — the energy currency of every cell in your body. But as we age or experience oxidative stress, these tiny engines begin to break down. SS-31 binds to cardiolipin, a critical phospholipid in the mitochondrial membrane, stabilizing its structure and enhancing energy production while reducing damaging reactive oxygen species (ROS).

This isn’t just anti-aging — it’s cellular resurrection.

 
How SS-31 Works

SS-31 is a small tetrapeptide with a unique ability to penetrate cell membranes and concentrate within mitochondria. Once inside, it:

• Binds to and protects cardiolipin — essential for maintaining mitochondrial structure
• Enhances ATP (energy) production
• Reduces oxidative damage and inflammation
• Improves bioenergetic efficiency across tissues

 
This allows cells to function as if they were years — or decades — younger.
