PEP-SS31 • RESEARCH USE ONLY

SS-31

SS-31 (Elamipretide) is a mitochondria-targeting peptide that protects against oxidative stress and enhances cellular energy efficiency. This nasal formulation supports mitochondrial repair, ATP production, and cellular resilience, making it ideal for fatigue, recovery, endurance, and longevity support.

Protocol & Dosing

Use once or twice daily, depending on energy needs and training intensity. For optimal mitochondrial activation, take SS-31 in a fasted state and wait 30–60 minutes before eating to maximize absorption and metabolic benefits. Morning dosing is ideal for daily energy and fatigue reduction; an optional second dose may be used pre-workout or early afternoon.

Standard
312 mcg (2 sprays)
Medium
468 mcg (3 sprays)
Higher
624 mcg (4 sprays)
Cycles
  • May be used in cycles of 4–6 weeks on and 2–4 weeks off
  • A reasonable structure: MOTS-C 8–12 weeks, SS-31 4–6 weeks, then 2–4 weeks fully off both
Key Benefits

Improves energy efficiency, enhances mitochondrial function, supports physical and cognitive recovery, reduces fatigue, boosts endurance, and promotes long-term cellular resilience and healthy aging.

Guidance
  • Start with 2 sprays once daily
  • Increase gradually only if needed
  • May split doses if using twice daily
  • Do not exceed 4 sprays per day unless directed
  • Ideal for fatigue, endurance, recovery, and mitochondrial health
  • Non-stimulatory and well tolerated
  • Pairs well with NAD+, MOTS-C, and Humanin for comprehensive mitochondrial optimization
PROPRIETARY DELIVERY TECHNOLOGY

Zenith Nano™ Spray System

Nasal delivery is facilitated with the Zenith Nano™ Spray System — a proprietary liquid ion delivery platform engineered for enhanced bioavailability, deep tissue penetration, and improved compound stability without compromising safety. Unlike carriers that rely on encapsulation, it enables direct solubilization and optimized partitioning of actives including peptides and coenzymes — no liposomes, no lipid nanoparticles, no emulsifier-dependent payloads. Built from amino acids and endogenous molecules for biocompatibility; scalable across routes that include intranasal sprays.

Lipid disruption & cation exchange
Alkyl chains intercalate into the stratum corneum lipid matrix via hydrophobic interactions, reducing cohesion and increasing permeability. Cationic components displace native ions such as Ca²⁺ within lipid lamellae, weakening structural integrity so actives pass through more efficiently.
Dual-polarity solubilization
Hydrophilic and lipophilic character solubilizes and transports a broad range of actives directly — without emulsifiers or encapsulating carriers.
Keratin modulation & partitioning
Temporarily denatures keratin within corneocytes, opening transient micro-pathways for epithelial migration. Improves solubility and skin partitioning while maintaining proprietary differentiation for IP — inspired by systems like CAGE (choline–geranic acid ionic liquids).
Superior loading vs. lipid carriers
Solubilizes actives directly instead of inefficient encapsulation. In-house studies: lipid-based carriers penetrated only ~22 μm — insufficient for meaningful absorption — whereas the Zenith Nano™ Spray System reaches therapeutically relevant layers.

>57× barrier penetration vs. saline in an ex vivo epithelial model (Zenith Nano™ third-party data). Minimum confirmed nanoparticle size under 10 nm — mucus-penetrating ionic clusters by dynamic light scattering.
Safety, stability & distribution
ISO 10993-5 CCK-8 assay: 80–100% viability at 24 h and 48 h. Four-month room-temperature stability: 101.1–101.9% HPLC recovery — no cold chain. In vivo oral mouse study: systemic distribution across five organs at 1 hour post-dose.
