SS-31

Target Mitochondrial Health at the Cellular Core

SS-31 is an investigational, mitochondria-targeting tetrapeptide studied for its unique ability to localize within the inner mitochondrial membrane. By binding to cardiolipin, a key structural lipid in mitochondria, SS-31 has been shown in research models to stabilize mitochondrial architecture and support efficient cellular energy production.

Unlike conventional antioxidants that act downstream, SS-31 is designed to operate directly at the mitochondrial level, where oxidative stress and bioenergetic dysfunction often originate. This mechanism has positioned SS-31 as a compound of interest in metabolic health, endurance, neuroprotection, and longevity-focused research.
