SS-31 is a synthetic tetrapeptide that targets and protects mitochondria—the energy-producing structures inside cells. It improves cellular energy production and lowers damaging oxidative stress.
Mechanism and Function Target Location
It moves quickly into the inner mitochondrial membrane rather than spreading evenly throughout the entire cell.
Research shows it can reverse age-related muscle decline, lower fatigue, and improve endurance.
Protects Organs: Studies demonstrate protective and therapeutic effects on the kidneys, heart, brain, and eyes by restoring blood flow and lowering inflammation in injured or aging tissues.
Cardiolipin Binding: It attaches to cardiolipin, helping stabilize the inner membrane and support efficient electron transport.
Energy, Anti- aging and Antioxidant Effects: It helps increase adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production (cellular energy) while reducing harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS).
