1 What It Does
SS-31 (elamipretide) is a mitochondria-targeting peptide that binds cardiolipin in the inner mitochondrial membrane. It stabilizes membrane structure and improves energy efficiency — studied for mitochondrial dysfunction, recovery, and age-related decline.

2 Typical Protocol
Recommended dose
3 mg per dose
Frequency
5 days on, 2 days off
Timing
AM
Duration
8 weeks on, 4 weeks off
Energy focus
SS-31 works at the mitochondrial level — benefits tend to show as improved energy and recovery rather than anything acute.
3 Reconstitution & Draw
Based on a 50 mg vial reconstituted with 2 mL BAC water. Draw to the units shown on a U-100 insulin syringe.

Note
—
50 mg vial = ~16 doses of 3 mg
U-100 syringe: 100 units = 1 mL. At 2 mL water a 3 mg dose is 12 units; more water spreads the dose over more units.
Concentration
At 2 mL the vial is concentrated (12 units/dose). Use 5 mL if you prefer a larger, easier-to-measure 30-unit draw.
4 Storage & Handling
Before mixing

After mixing
Refrigerate, use within 90 days
Reconstitute with
Bacteriostatic water
Handling
Inject slowly down vial wall, swirl — don't shake
