What is SS-31? SS-31 (Elamipretide) is a 4-amino acid synthetic peptide specifically designed to target and protect your mitochondria. Think of it as your cellular repair crew - it goes straight to damaged mitochondria and helps restore their function from the inside out. The fascinating part? SS-31 has a unique positive charge that allows it to penetrate the inner mitochondrial membrane and bind directly to cardiolipin, a crucial lipid that keeps your mitochondria running smoothly. It's like having a specialized mechanic for your cellular powerhouses! Why Everyone's Interested SS-31 has earned attention as a "mitochondrial protector" because it: - ✅ Reduces mitochondrial oxidative stress - ✅ Improves cellular energy production (ATP) - ✅ Protects against age-related mitochondrial damage - ✅ Enhances exercise capacity and recovery - ✅ May support cardiovascular and neurological health The problem: Mitochondrial function naturally declines with age (about 1-2% per year after 30), leading to reduced energy, slower recovery, and increased cellular damage. The Current Research Status What we know: - Multiple Phase 2/3 clinical trials for heart failure and rare mitochondrial diseases - Shown to improve exercise tolerance in heart failure patients - Demonstrated neuroprotective effects in animal models - Well-tolerated safety profile in human trials Want to support your mitochondria naturally? The fundamentals still matter: - Regular exercise = mitochondrial biogenesis - Quality sleep = mitochondrial repair time - Antioxidant-rich foods = natural protection - Cold/heat exposure = mitochondrial resilience Bottom line: While your body can't make SS-31 naturally, supporting your existing mitochondria through lifestyle is still the foundation. (My Rat's Peptide Experience) Running SS-31 at 1.25mg - 2.5mg daily has been incredible for recovery and sustained energy throughout the day. Unlike stimulants, it provides clean, cellular-level energy that doesn't crash. Planning to cycle this for 3 weeks or so then adding back in MOTS-C.

Just scooped up 2 bottles of 5-Amino-1MQ (20mg) … then noticed the analysis wasn’t complete. As much as I love Amp, I have to cancel those bottles. Big thanks to Derek for keeping us sharp, making sure we only grab the safest products out there. 🔥
