SS31(10xVials)
CA$420.00
SS-31, also known as Elamipretide, is a synthetic peptide designed to target and protect mitochondria, the powerhouses of cells. It has several significant uses and benefits, particularly in the context of mitochondrial dysfunction and related diseases.
Uses and Benefits
-
Mitochondrial Function Improvement:
- Energy Production: SS-31 enhances mitochondrial function by increasing ATP production, which is essential for cellular energy (Jay Campbell) (Evolve).
- Reducing Oxidative Stress: It acts as a reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger, protecting cells from oxidative damage and reducing inflammation (Jay Campbell) (Medicine With Heart Institute).
-
Neuroprotection:
- Cognitive Health: SS-31 has shown potential in protecting against neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's by preventing mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress (Jay Campbell) (Evolve).
- Memory and Learning: Studies in animal models have demonstrated that SS-31 can improve memory and learning by protecting hippocampal neurons and promoting mitochondrial health (Evolve) (Medicine With Heart Institute).
-
Anti-Aging and Longevity:
- Muscle Function: SS-31 helps reverse age-related decline in mitochondrial function, improving muscle strength and reducing fatigue in older individuals (Medicine With Heart Institute).
- Chronic Diseases: It has shown promise in treating conditions like chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular diseases, and age-related macular degeneration by restoring mitochondrial function (Medicine With Heart Institute).
-
Diabetes Management:
- Blood Glucose Regulation: SS-31 has been studied for its potential to protect pancreatic cells and improve insulin sensitivity, thus helping manage diabetes (Jay Campbell).
Administration and Dosage
- Forms: SS-31 is commonly administered through subcutaneous injections, but intranasal sprays are also available for easier use (Muscle and Brawn).
- Dosage: Typical dosages range from 4 mg to 40 mg per day, depending on the condition being treated and individual response. It is essential to consult with a healthcare provider for appropriate dosing (Jay Campbell)
