SS-31, also known as Elamipretide, Bendavia, or MTP-131, is a synthetic peptide that targets and improves mitochondrial function. Mitochondria generate ATP (the body’s primary energy molecule), regulate cellular homeostasis, and impact nearly all physiological systems. SS-31 is a mitochondrial-targeted antioxidant with extensive therapeutic potential: mitigating oxidative stress, suppressing inflammation, maintaining mitochondrial health, and preventing cellular apoptosis.
It has several advantages over natural antioxidants and plays a key role in treating mitochondrial dysfunction-related disorders.
Molecular Formula: C₃₂H₄₉N₉O₅
Molecular Weight: 639.8 g/mol
Purity: ≥99%
Sequence: D-Arg-Dmt-Lys-Phe-NH₂

Stacking Suggestions
MOTS-C – run SS-31 before a MOTS-C cycle for maximum mitochondrial optimization. SS-31 primes the mitochondria, MOTS-C boosts cellular adaptation and metabolic health (Follow standard protocol for 10-14 days prior to start of MOTS-C protocol)
NAD+ – supports ATP production and cellular repair when paired with SS-31
Glutathione – enhances antioxidant defense and detoxification during oxidative stress repair
