SS-31

SS-31 for mitochondrial research

SS-31, also called Elamipretide, is a small synthetic tetrapeptide designed to reach the inner membrane of mitochondria, where it binds cardiolipin, a lipid important to the structure of the energy-producing machinery. It is one of the Szeto-Schiller peptides, named after the researchers who described them, and it has been evaluated in clinical studies of mitochondrial disease. Most of its research profile sits in mitochondrial-function and ageing models. GLP1 Forum Escrow lists SS-31 from several brands, and you may see it under either name. Each product gives the brand, milligrams per vial, number of vials and a price per milligram, making it straightforward to compare different kit sizes. Where an independent HPLC or mass-spec report has been published, it is attached to the listing so purity and identity can be confirmed before you order. SS-31 sits in the Longevity & Mitochondrial section alongside MOTS-c, NAD+ and Epithalon. Like everything in the catalogue, it is sold through escrow: your payment is held until the parcel reaches you, then released to the brand, with a claim available beforehand if something goes wrong.

Frequently asked questions

Is SS-31 the same as Elamipretide?

Yes. SS-31 is the original research designation and Elamipretide the nonproprietary name of the same mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide. It belongs to the Szeto-Schiller family of peptides. Listings use either name, and a lab report with identity data confirms the compound in the tested batch.

Why is SS-31 studied in mitochondrial research?

It is designed to concentrate at the inner mitochondrial membrane, where it binds cardiolipin, a lipid that helps organise the energy-producing complexes. That targeting makes it a tool in studies of mitochondrial function and ageing, and it has been evaluated in clinical research on mitochondrial disease.

Can I withdraw a refund from an SS-31 claim?

Yes. Upheld claims are refunded to your Escrow Wallet, where you can spend the balance on another order or withdraw it to your own crypto wallet. Withdrawals need your account password, are reviewed manually, and you receive an email with the payout transaction hash.
