SS-31

SS-31 (also known as elamipretide) is a synthetic tetrapeptide research compound designed to target and protect mitochondria. It is being studied for its potential to improve mitochondrial function and reduce oxidative stress in preclinical models of age-related and degenerative diseases. SS-31 interacts with cardiolipin, a key phospholipid in the inner mitochondrial membrane, stabilizing mitochondrial structure and function. While promising in laboratory studies, SS-31 is strictly intended for research purposes and is not approved for human consumption or therapeutic use.

Key Benefits of SS-31 Research:

• Mitochondrial Protection: Targets and binds to cardiolipin to stabilize mitochondrial membranes and enhance mitochondrial function.
• Reduction of Oxidative Stress: Mitigates reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, reducing oxidative damage to cells.
• Improved Energy Production: Enhances ATP synthesis by preserving mitochondrial efficiency.
• Anti-Apoptotic Effects: Protects cells from programmed cell death in models of mitochondrial dysfunction.
• Potential Neuroprotective Properties: Demonstrates benefits in preclinical models of neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.
• Cardioprotective Effects: Improves heart function and reduces damage in models of ischemia-reperfusion injury and heart failure.
• Anti-Inflammatory Action: Reduces mitochondrial-driven inflammation in disease models.
• Applications Across Diseases: Studied for use in various conditions, including muscular dystrophy, chronic kidney disease, and aging-related decline.

These benefits highlight SS-31’s potential as a tool for understanding mitochondrial dysfunction and its role in degenerative diseases.

• All the products you see on the website are being sold in a lyophilized powder state (freeze-dried), in a sealed sterile vial; and should be reconstituted.
  The product’s label clearly states the amount of product a vial contains; some products are offered in different variations.
• The products we are selling come in a sealed vial but require additional lab equipment for proper testing. This equipment includes
  bacteriostatic water (for reconstitution), syringes and needles (to draw the product from the vial/apply bacteriostatic water), alcohol disinfection pads etc.

Though we make sure packaging, label, seals and writing does not differ from the product photos you see on our website, there is a chance for a minimal deviation.
