SS-31 (Elamipretide): Targeting the Mitochondrial Membrane Directly
Most compounds that claim to support mitochondrial function work indirectly — through antioxidant activity, precursor supplementation, or upstream signalling. SS-31 is different. It is a cell-permeable tetrapeptide that concentrates directly in the inner mitochondrial membrane, targeting the specific structure where age-related dysfunction originates. That directness is what makes it one of the most closely watched […]
