SS-31 

SS-31, also known as Elamipretide, Bendavia, or MTP-131, is a synthetic peptide that targets and improves mitochondrial function. Mitochondria generate ATP (the body’s primary energy molecule), regulate cellular homeostasis, and impact nearly all physiological systems. SS-31 is a mitochondrial-targeted antioxidant with extensive therapeutic potential: mitigating oxidative stress, suppressing inflammation, maintaining mitochondrial health, and preventing cellular apoptosis.

It has several advantages over natural antioxidants and plays a key role in treating mitochondrial dysfunction-related disorders.
