SS-31 Peptide | High-Purity Mitochondrial Optimizer
Product Overview:
SS-31, also known as Elamipretide, is a synthetic tetrapeptide (D-Arg-2′6′-dimethylTyr-Lys-Phe-NH₂) designed to target and stabilize mitochondrial function. By selectively penetrating the inner mitochondrial membrane, SS-31 supports optimal energy production, reduces oxidative stress, and protects cells from mitochondrial dysfunction. This makes it a leading compound in research focused on age-related diseases, neurodegeneration, cardiovascular health, and metabolic disorders.
Key Benefits:
-
Mitochondrial Protection:
SS-31 binds to cardiolipin in the inner mitochondrial membrane, helping to preserve mitochondrial structure and function.
-
Reduces Oxidative Stress:
Acts as a potent antioxidant, neutralizing reactive oxygen species (ROS) at the source—within the mitochondria.
-
Supports Cellular Energy:
Enhances ATP production and stabilizes electron transport chain function, improving energy metabolism.
-
Anti-Aging Potential:
Promising in studies focused on neurodegeneration, muscle decline, and other hallmarks of aging.
-
Cardiovascular Support:
Research suggests SS-31 may reduce ischemia-reperfusion injury and support heart muscle function.
