    What Is SS-31 10mg?

    SS-31 10mg Vial Overview

    SS-31 (Elamipretide, also known as Bendavia) is a mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide (D-Arg-Dmt-Lys-Phe-NH2) that selectively concentrates in the inner mitochondrial membrane. It binds to cardiolipin, stabilizing the electron transport chain and reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Research demonstrates SS-31 restores mitochondrial bioenergetics, improves ATP production, and protects against ischemia-reperfusion injury.

    SS-31 10mg Compared With Other Formats

    Details that distinguish this 10 mg format include:

    • Selectively concentrates in inner mitochondrial membrane
    • Stabilizes electron transport chain
    • Clinical trials for heart failure and mitochondrial myopathy

    The 10 mg vial provides sufficient material for extended protocols at standard dosing without opening multiple vials — ideal for ongoing daily use.

    How Does SS-31 Work?

    SS-31 Mechanism of Action

    SS-31 (D-Arg-Dmt-Lys-Phe-NH2) concentrates >1000-fold in the inner mitochondrial membrane where it binds cardiolipin. This stabilizes cytochrome c interactions with the electron transport chain, optimizing ATP production and reducing electron leak that generates reactive oxygen species (ROS).

    What Are the Potential Benefits of SS-31?

    SS-31 Research Findings and Observed Outcomes

    How to Reconstitute SS-31 10mg

    SS-31 10mg Reconstitution With Bacteriostatic Water

    This section applies specifically to the SS-31 (10 mg Vial).

    Recommended Diluent
    Bacteriostatic water
    Diluent Volume
    2 mL
    Final Concentration
    5 mg/mL

    SS-31 10mg Mixing Instructions

    1. 1Remove the vial from storage and allow it to reach room temperature (10–15 minutes).
    2. 2Wash hands thoroughly and prepare a clean workspace with all supplies.
    3. 3Using a sterile syringe, draw the appropriate volume of bacteriostatic water.
    4. 4Clean the rubber stopper of the vial with an alcohol prep pad.
    5. 5Insert the needle at a slight angle and slowly inject the diluent down the inner wall of the vial.
    6. 6Gently swirl or roll the vial until fully dissolved; the solution should appear clear and colorless.
    7. 7Label the vial with reconstitution date and refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F), protected from light. Use within 2–4 weeks.

    SS-31 10mg FAQs

    How does SS-31 differ from CoQ10 supplements?

    SS-31 directly targets the inner mitochondrial membrane and stabilizes the electron transport chain. CoQ10 acts as an electron carrier. SS-31 is more targeted and potent at restoring mitochondrial function.
