SS-31
A peptide that protects the mitochondrion and cellular energy.
iThe essentials in 10 seconds
- Peptide targeted to mitochondria (the cells' power plants)
- Protects cardiolipin, essential for proper energy function
- Reduces oxidative stress and improves energy production
- Subcutaneous injection, in cycles
IWhat is SS-31?
SS-31 (Elamipretide) is a peptide that concentrates in the mitochondria, the cell's power plants. It protects cardiolipin — a lipid essential to the respiratory chain — and reduces oxidative stress. The result: more efficient energy production, particularly in highly demanding tissues (muscle, heart).
Peptide studied in rare mitochondrial and cardiac diseases. Results vary across studies: supervised use, as support, without therapeutic promise.
The molecules presented on this site are innovative and fall under experimental use. Human data remain limited: a studied mechanism or a preclinical observation is not sufficient to demonstrate a benefit. The regulatory status in Morocco is not established for most of these peptides. Any use is decided within the framework of a medical consultation, with follow-up — never alone, never without an assessment.
IIThe benefits
Improves cellular energy production by protecting the respiratory chain.
Reduces oxidative stress at the heart of the mitochondrion.
Improves exercise tolerance and reduces muscle fatigue.
Mitochondrial protection studied in cardiac conditions.
Protects cardiolipin, essential for energy efficiency.
Supports mitochondrial function, a central factor in aging.
IIIRecommendations & how to use
Route: subcutaneous injection (abdomen) · Frequency: daily or according to the protocol, in cycles · Storage: refrigerated (2–8 °C).
Often combined with other mitochondrial approaches (NAD+, CoQ10, vitamin C).

IVThe two protocols
Goal: support cellular energy in cases of mitochondrial fatigue.
Monitoring: energy level, tolerance; mitochondrial workup if relevant.
Goal: improve exercise tolerance and recovery.
SS-31 supports energy: it does not replace rest or recovery.
VProtocol rules
- Regular sleep (mitochondrial repair)
- Adapted physical activity
- Hydration and dietary antioxidants
- Note energy and tolerance
- Store vials in the refrigerator
- No self-injection without medical training
- Do not chain cycles without a break
- Never mix peptides in the same vial
- Pregnancy, breastfeeding: medical advice
- Do not expect an isolated effect without a healthy lifestyle
