What It Is
SS-31 / Elamipretide5ML

Mechanism of Action

SS-31 (elamipretide) is a mitochondria-targeted peptide designed to improve mitochondrial function, bioenergetics, and reduce oxidative stress. It physically associates with mitochondrial membranes and preserves electron transport chain (ETC) integrity.

SS-31 has been studied for its ability to maintain mitochondrial membrane integrity, enhance ATP production, reduce reactive oxygen species (ROS), and protect against mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening. It represents one of the most mechanistically targeted longevity compounds currently under investigation. Individual outcomes may differ. This protocol is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Mechanism Biological Effect
Targeted mitochondrial localization Selective accumulation in mitochondria
Cardiolipin stabilization Maintains IMM structure and ETC integrity
Enhanced oxidative phosphorylation Improved ATP production
Reduced ROS generation Lower oxidative stress
Prevention of mPTP opening Protection against cell death
Anti-inflammatory signaling Reduced chronic inflammation
Neuroprotection Neuronal survival and reduced degeneration

Autoimmune conditions: Reviewed case-by-case. Immunomodulating peptides require careful physician assessment.
FAQ

Common Questions

This compound is not FDA-approved as a drug. It is dispensed as a compounded medication through licensed 503A compounding pharmacies operating under FDA guidelines. All Verum Health protocols require a valid physician prescription.
After completing your HIPAA-secure health intake, a physician or NP will review your medical history, current medications, goals, and contraindications. If you're a candidate, a virtual consultation is scheduled — typically 15–20 minutes. Turnaround is 24–48 hours from intake submission.
Protocol stacking is reviewed on a case-by-case basis during your physician consultation. Any combination protocol is evaluated for safety and clinical appropriateness. Do not combine protocols without explicit physician guidance.
Reorders are managed through your patient portal. A follow-up physician check-in is required at protocol completion before continuation is authorized. Reorder notification is sent 10 days before your protocol completes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is SS-31 peptide?

SS-31 (Elamipretide) is a mitochondria-targeting peptide that protects and restores mitochondrial function. It is used for age-related mitochondrial decline, cardiovascular health, and cellular energy optimization.

What conditions benefit from SS-31?

SS-31 is studied for age-related mitochondrial dysfunction, heart failure, kidney disease, neurodegeneration, and muscle atrophy. It is used in longevity protocols to maintain cellular energy production.

How is SS-31 administered?

SS-31 is a subcutaneous injectable at Verum Health. Due to its targeted mechanism, dosing and protocol length are carefully determined by your physician.

Can SS-31 be stacked with NAD+?

Yes. SS-31 + NAD+ is a potent mitochondrial support stack — SS-31 protects mitochondrial membranes while NAD+ supports the energy production enzymes within them.
