Description
SS-31 10mg from Sports Technology Labs is a sterile glass vial holding 10mg of SS-31 (elamipretide) as freeze-dried powder. SS-31 is a mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide. It’s intended for lab and analytical work only.
SS-31 (elamipretide) at a glance
SS-31, also called elamipretide, is a four-amino-acid peptide: D-Arg-Dmt-Lys-Phe-NH2. It alternates positive charges with aromatic rings, a design that lets it slip through cell membranes and collect in mitochondria.
Once there, it binds cardiolipin, a fat that’s found almost only in the inner mitochondrial membrane and that holds the energy-making machinery in place.
The mechanism behind SS-31
Cardiolipin holds together the protein complexes that make ATP in mitochondria. When it’s oxidized, those complexes work less well and leak more free radicals.
SS-31 binds cardiolipin and protects it, which in lab studies kept the electron transport chain working more efficiently and cut oxidative damage. It doesn’t depend on the membrane voltage to get into mitochondria, which sets it apart from other targeted antioxidants.

What the literature says about SS-31
Hazel Szeto and Peter Schiller designed it in the early 2000s; SS stands for Szeto-Schiller. Stealth BioTherapeutics took it into clinical trials for mitochondrial diseases, including primary mitochondrial myopathy and Barth syndrome.
It’s one of the few mitochondria-targeted peptides with real human trial data. This vial is research material, not the clinical product.

SS-31 and its alternatives
Quick context: SS-31 is a mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide that binds cardiolipin. Other compounds in the same area:
- Epitalon is the tetrapeptide Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly studied for telomerase and the pineal gland
- NAD+ is the coenzyme cells need for energy reactions and sirtuin activity
- MOTS-c is a short peptide coded in mitochondrial DNA and linked to AMPK
- GHK-Cu is a copper-binding tripeptide linked to collagen and wound remodeling
Longevity research splits into separate processes, and each compound here targets one: cell energy, mitochondria or tissue renewal. Compare them in our anti-aging peptides.
How to dissolve SS-31 10mg
The vial holds 10mg of freeze-dried powder. Divide that by the millilitres of diluent you add and you have the concentration:
- 1mL of diluent gives 10mg per mL
- 2mL of diluent gives 5mg per mL
- 3mL of diluent gives 3.333mg per mL
Bacteriostatic water is the usual diluent, and it isn’t in the box. Add it along the glass wall, a little at a time, then swirl until the solution is clear.
Storing SS-31 10mg
Before mixing, store SS-31 10mg at 2 to 8°C in its box. After reconstitution it stays in the fridge too, and most labs use it up within 30 days. Freezing the solution isn’t recommended.
Keep mixed vials upright so the liquid doesn’t sit against the stopper.
SS-31 10mg purity and lab testing
Sports Technology Labs doesn’t test its own products. MZ Biolabs in Tucson, Arizona, does, using HPLC for purity and mass spectrometry for identity. For this listing the posted result is 99.00%.
Scroll through the product photos and the certificate is there, with the test date and the chromatogram.
Why two tests? A sample can be very pure and still be the wrong compound. HPLC measures purity and mass spec confirms the molecular weight, so together they cover both problems.
You also get a 60-day money-back guarantee on the order.
