SS-31 is a peptide that targets and supports mitochondria to improve cellular energy production. It is commonly used for fatigue, recovery, and metabolic support, with some people also reporting improvements in vision.

SS-31 (also known as Elamipretide) is a mitochondria-targeting peptide designed to protect and improve the function of the cell’s energy-producing structures. It works by binding to a key fat called cardiolipin on the inner mitochondrial membrane, helping stabilize the mitochondria, reduce oxidative stress, and improve energy production. Because of this, people mainly use it for low energy, chronic fatigue, better recovery, heart and kidney support, and overall cellular health. Interestingly, some users have also reported anecdotal improvements in vision, such as clearer eyesight, reduced light sensitivity, or better visual comfort, which aligns with early research exploring SS-31 for certain age-related and mitochondrial-related eye conditions.
