SS-31: 30mg

Science and Mechanism:
SS-31 is a synthetic peptide that specifically targets and binds to the mitochondria, the powerhouse of the cell, to enhance their function. It works by stabilizing mitochondrial membranes and reducing oxidative damage, particularly the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can impair mitochondrial function. By improving mitochondrial health, SS-31 helps optimize energy production within cells, which is crucial for various physiological processes. This action is especially important in tissues with high energy demands, such as muscles and the brain, as it protects against mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress, common contributors to aging and many chronic diseases.

Benefits:
The known and potential benefits of SS-31 include enhanced mitochondrial function, which can improve cellular energy production and reduce fatigue. It has shown promise in increasing endurance, improving recovery times, and protecting against age-related decline in cognitive and physical functions. Additionally, SS-31 has been studied for its potential to help with neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s by reducing oxidative stress and promoting mitochondrial health. Its ability to protect mitochondrial function could also have applications in heart disease and other conditions linked to mitochondrial dysfunction.
