THE MITOCHONDRIAL OPTIMIZER
SS-31
Directly target and repair your mitochondria
Also known as: Elamipretide; Bendavia; MTP-131
Overview
SS-31 is a mitochondria-targeting peptide that goes directly to your cells' power plants. It stabilizes cardiolipin in the inner mitochondrial membrane, reducing oxidative stress and improving ATP production. It's being studied for heart failure, mitochondrial diseases, kidney disease, and age-related decline. It's one of the most promising compounds for directly addressing cellular energy dysfunction.
