SS-31 10mg Peptides
Designed for precise work at the bench, this SS-31 vial brings disciplined purity and consistent performance to studies that demand dependable results.
Better Molecule SS-31 is a lyophilized research peptide supplied as a vial with 10mg total content. The active peptide, elamipretide (SS-31), is presented as a stable freeze-dried cake to support handling and storage. Each vial is filled and lyophilized in the USA under controlled conditions, then sealed in amber glass with a tamper-evident closure for protection from light and moisture. Labels display lot number and documentation access to support traceability and recordkeeping in regulated environments.
- Each vial contains 10mg of Elamipretide (SS-31), a mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide studied for interactions with cardiolipin, cellular bioenergetics, and oxidative stress models.
In use, the lyophilized matrix is optimized for clean, uniform reconstitution by qualified personnel using appropriate sterile diluent and aseptic technique. The consistent fill mass and controlled cake formation are engineered to support reproducible measurements across experiments. Clear, concise labeling keeps essential data at hand, simplifying inventory control and method documentation. This format integrates smoothly into standard laboratory workflows and storage practices.
Every batch is produced with emphasis on analytical verification and controlled handling. Identity and purity are verified by HPLC and LC-MS, with lot-level documentation to substantiate specifications. Materials are managed under disciplined procedures in a USA-based setting with attention to environmental controls, equipment calibration, and documented chain of custody. From sourcing through final packaging, Better Molecule prioritizes transparency, consistency, and professional standards so researchers can work with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is SS-31?
SS-31, also known in the literature as elamipretide, is a mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide. It is notable because it is studied for interaction with cardiolipin and mitochondrial membrane function rather than for classic endocrine signaling. On a site page, it should be described as a research peptide for mitochondrial biology and bioenergetics.
What is SS-31 typically studied for?
Researchers commonly study SS-31 in relation to mitochondrial efficiency, oxidative stress, cardiolipin stabilization, muscle and cardiac bioenergetics, and age-related decline in cellular energy systems. The right tone is mechanistic and research-focused, not a blanket claim about energy or recovery.
What is the connection between peptides and mitochondrial studies?
Mitochondria encode a small number of their own peptides in addition to nuclear-encoded proteins imported into the organelle. Peptides such as MOTS-c and Humanin are examples of mitochondrial-derived peptides (MDPs) that are studied as potential intracellular signaling molecules originating from the mitochondrial genome.
Additionally, some synthetic peptides — such as SS-31 — are designed to target mitochondrial membranes and interact with components of the electron transport chain environment. Together, these research threads make peptides a significant topic in mitochondrial biology investigations.
What are longevity peptides?
Longevity peptides is a research category grouping short peptides investigated in connection with cellular aging, mitochondrial function, telomere biology, and age-related changes in tissue signaling. Well-known examples studied in this space include Epitalon, MOTS-c, SS-31, and Humanin.
This is a broad and active area of biogerontology research. The peptides grouped here do not share a single biochemical family but rather a shared research focus on mechanisms relevant to aging biology. All products from Better Molecule in this category are lyophilized research materials intended solely for in vitro laboratory investigation.
How do longevity peptides relate to cellular aging research?
Cellular aging research examines processes such as mitochondrial dysfunction, telomere shortening, cellular senescence, chronic low-grade inflammation, and changes in gene expression over time. Longevity peptides enter this research as tools for probing specific pathways — for example, mitochondrial-derived peptides for mitochondrial stress responses, or pineal-associated peptides for studies of circadian and gene-expression regulation.
By using short, well-defined peptides, researchers can target individual mechanisms within the broader hallmarks-of-aging framework in a controlled manner. This makes longevity peptides useful experimental probes in mechanistic studies of biological aging.
