How it Works
SS-31 (Elamipretide) is a cell-permeable tetrapeptide that concentrates in mitochondria.
It binds to cardiolipin, a phospholipid critical for electron transport chain function.
By stabilizing cardiolipin, it optimizes electron flow and reduces electron leak that creates ROS.
This protects mitochondria from oxidative damage while improving ATP production efficiency.
