🧬 SS-31 Before MOTS-c… Do You Need It? (Quick Biohacker Breakdown)
⚡ The short answer:
It depends on your current mitochondrial health.
SS-31 can make MOTS-c work better for some people… but it’s not a mandatory prerequisite.
🧱 What each one is “doing”
SS-31 (Elamipretide) = mitochondrial structural repair
Think: stabilizes the inner membrane/cardiolipin, lowers oxidative stress (ROS), improves ETC efficiency.
MOTS-c = metabolic signaling & optimization
Think: AMPK activation, better insulin sensitivity/glucose handling, mitochondrial biogenesis, “exercise mimetic” vibes.
Analogy: SS-31 fixes the foundation 🧱 → MOTS-c upgrades the system ⚙️ (optimization works best when the “hardware” isn’t compromised).
✅ When SS-31before MOTS-c makes more sense:
If you’re seeing signs of mitochondrial dysfunction/higher oxidative stress like:
😴 chronic fatigue / low energy
🏋️♀️ poor recovery
📉 metabolic decline (often 40+)
🍩 insulin resistance/metabolic issues
🤒 coming off illness/infection/prolonged stress
😵💫 poor sleep, high stress, processed diet, sedentary → sudden training ramp-up
Suggested sequencing: SS-31 for ~4–8 weeks, then add MOTS-c (or overlap for synergy).
✅ When MOTS-c alone is probably fine:
If you’re:
🧑🔬 younger (often <35)
⚡ already have solid energy + recovery
🥗 clean nutrition + good stress management
🏃 consistent training w/ good performance
🚫 no obvious metabolic dysfunction
🤔 If you’re unsure…
A practical approach mentioned: try MOTS-c first → if results are “meh,” SS-31 may be the missing repair piece.
💬 Question for the group:
If you’ve run either one (or both) — what did you notice most?
Drop: age range + main goal + recovery/energy status 👇
