What is SS-31?

SS-31 is a mitochondrial-targeted peptide designed to reduce oxidative stress and enhance mitochondrial function. It is of particular interest in studies related to aging, muscle function, and neurodegenerative diseases.

Mechanism of Action:
SS-31 binds to cardiolipin, a lipid found in mitochondria, stabilizing mitochondrial membranes and reducing the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). This action helps protect cells from oxidative damage and improves energy production.

Potential Benefits:

1. Mitochondrial Health: Supports cellular energy and reduces oxidative stress.

2. Anti-Aging: Studied for its potential to slow age-related cellular decline.

3. Neuroprotection: May protect neurons from oxidative damage.

4. Muscle and Heart Function: Beneficial in research focused on improving muscle endurance and cardiovascular health.

Current Research Areas:

• Aging and Longevity: Research into mitochondrial function and age-related decline.

• Neurodegenerative Diseases: Examined for protecting neurons in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.

• Cardiovascular Health: Studied for potential benefits in heart disease and muscle function.

Dosage and Administration:

• Common Research Dosage: 5-10 mg daily, subcutaneously or intravenously.

• Timing: Daily administration is common for consistent mitochondrial support.
