SS-31, also known as Elamipretide, Bendavia, and MTP, is a peptide that targets mitochondria and has a range of therapeutic benefits. Research has shown that SS-31 peptide can protect mitochondrial health and function. Since the mitochondria are vital in the human body and are responsible for producing cellular energy, the administration of Elamipretide may improve energy production.
Recognizing the advantageous effects of Elamipretide on physical endurance, scientists have also been investigating SS-31 peptide for treating Barth Syndrome, a syndrome characterized by skeletal muscle weakness and physical disability. Besides treating certain conditions like Barth Syndrome, which is being proposed for FDA approval, SS-31 may help with age-related skeletal muscle degeneration in the elderly to retain their independence and improve their quality of life.
Potential Benefits
- Rapidly rejuvenates oxidative phosphorylation in aged skeletal muscle
- Restores mitochondrial biogenesis
- Restores mitochondrial dynamics
- Repairs cellular structure and restore function during aging
- Prevents cell death and inflammation
- Boosts the body's natural ability to heal itself

Because peptide injections are very similar to peptides that naturally exist in the body and in healthy foods, peptides are typically safe to inject and have very few side effects. The FDA has categorized peptides as GRAS (considered to be generally recognized as safe) ingredients.
The side effects of peptides depend on the specific type of peptide and the method of consumption. Some common side effects associated with peptides include:
- Injection site reactions such as redness, pain, swelling, bruising and itching
- Flushing sensation
- Digestive issues like nausea, diarrhea, and other digestive symptoms.
- Hormonal imbalances caused by growth hormone-releasing peptides (GHRP)
- Suppressed natural hormone production
Remember, everyone reacts differently to substances like SS-31 due to individual physiological differences such as metabolism rate and overall health status. Consult with a licensed healthcare professional if you are considering peptide therapy.

If you're thinking, "I have no idea what peptides are," don't worry, you're not alone. We can blame our biology teacher later. However, I'm sure you know common terms such as insulin, oxytocin, collagen. These are all peptides.
As a matter of fact, the human body naturally produces more than 7,000 known peptide types. With this many peptides, they are used in a wide variety of the body's systems and are essential to the way we function and age.
Peptides are very tiny proteins made up of short chains of amino acids. They signal the cells in your body to act in certain ways. As a result, peptides are responsible for how you function, feel, look and live overall. Since different peptides affect different cells and functions, they can be highly tailored and targeted to treat a full spectrum of health, wellness, fitness, metabolism, aging and cognitive conditions.
