SS-31 – the mitochondrial peptide

SS-31, also known as Elamipretide, is a mitochondria-targeted peptide designed to protect and restore mitochondrial function at its most critical point. Unlike peptides that influence hormones or signaling upstream, SS-31 acts directly inside the mitochondria, the structures responsible for producing cellular energy. It was originally developed for serious medical conditions involving mitochondrial dysfunction, including heart […]Read More

Mitochondria and performance:  how to train for more cellular energy

Mitochondria are like microscopic engines inside our cells, or the tiny power plants that convert nutrients into usable energy (ATP). While they often get mentioned in the context of endurance sports or health discussions, mitochondria are actually extremely important to nearly every aspect of athletic performance: strength, power, recovery, body composition, and longevity. Whether you’re […]Read More
