Evidence / context

Evidence: Emerging. Mitochondrial-support context is narrower than broad longevity marketing implies.

Available vial formats

SS-31

10 mg
Mix 2.0 mLConcentration 5 mg/mL

Dosing

  • Conservative 2 mg once daily (40 units per injection)
  • Standard 5 mg once daily (100 units per injection) or 5 mg per injection 5 times weekly
  • Aggressive 10 mg per injection, 3 times weekly (200 units per injection) only if the format and tolerance clearly fit
Cycle length4-8 weeks
TimingMorning or early afternoon; consistency matters more than exact clock time.Use as a steady block and avoid late dosing if it affects sleep.

Reconstitution

  1. Swab vial tops with alcohol
  2. Draw 2.0 mL bacteriostatic water
  3. Inject slowly down vial wall (don't blast powder)
  4. Gently swirl - do not shake
  5. Rest 5-10 min to dissolve
  6. Refrigerate 2-8 C

Support / expected effects

Side effects / tolerability

Practical tips

Storage

Refrigerated: ~30-45 days after reconstitution.

Notes / compatibility

Notes

  • Evidence is emerging and use context is formulation-dependent.
  • Keep expectations grounded; human data is narrower than broad marketing claims.

Compatibility

Keep separate unless the diluent, timing intent, and site tolerance clearly match.

FAQ

What is SS-31 explored for?

Mitochondrial membrane support and oxidative-stress support. May support energy resilience and exercise recovery. May reduce fatigue perception in some settings.

How is SS-31 reconstituted?

1) Swab vial tops with alcohol 2) Draw 2.0 mL bacteriostatic water 3) Inject slowly down vial wall (don't blast powder) 4) Gently swirl - do not shake 5) Rest 5-10 min to dissolve 6) Refrigerate 2-8 C

What is a typical cycle length for SS-31?

4-8 weeks

How are doses measured in syringe units here?

Units mean U-100 insulin-syringe gradations (1 mL = 100 units), not International Units. Use the calculator only when the vial concentration and injection volume are known.
