Elamipretide (SS-31)
Description
Elamipretide (SS-31) is a mitochondrial-targeted peptide studied for its potential role in supporting cellular energy production and mitochondrial health. Mitochondria are responsible for generating energy within cells, and supporting their function may help improve overall cellular performance and resilience.
Elamipretide works by targeting the inner membrane of mitochondria and stabilizing cardiolipin, a key lipid involved in mitochondrial structure and function. By supporting mitochondrial efficiency and reducing oxidative stress, elamipretide may help improve cellular energy production and support metabolic health.
