SS31

This episode explores SS-31, also known as Elamipretide, a unique mitochondria-targeting peptide with the potential to protect cellular energy, fight oxidative stress, and slow aspects of aging. Over forty-five minutes, we dive into how SS-31 works, the science behind its ability to stabilize cardiolipin in mitochondria, and what current research says about its role in energy, muscle performance, heart health, eye protection, and neurodegenerative conditions. You’ll also hear about its limitations, ongoing clinical trials, and where this breakthrough peptide might fit into the future of health and longevity.
