How many units of SS-31 (Elamipretide) should I draw?

It depends on your vial size, BAC water, and dose. For a 5mg vial with 2mL BAC water, a beginner dose of 500mcg is typically 20 units on a U-100 syringe. Use the calculator above for your exact numbers.

How much BAC water should I add to SS-31 (Elamipretide)?

The standard amount is 2mL of bacteriostatic water for a 5mg vial. More water gives a more dilute solution — easier to measure small doses. Less water means fewer injections per vial. Adjust the BAC water slider in the calculator to see how it changes your syringe units.

How long does a SS-31 (Elamipretide) vial last?

At a beginner dose of 500mcg daily, a 5mg vial lasts about 10 doses. The calculator shows exact doses per vial for your selected tier.

What syringe should I use for SS-31 (Elamipretide)?

Most people use a U-100 insulin syringe (1mL / 100 units). For very small doses, a U-50 or U-30 syringe gives better precision. The calculator adjusts units automatically for whichever syringe you pick.

Pharmacokinetics — Active Dose Over Time

t½ = ~4 hours

After 1 half-life (4h): 50% remainsAfter 2 half-lives (8h): 25% remainsAfter 3 half-lives (12h): 12.5% remains

At a 1mg dose: 50% = 500mcg remaining after 4h. Recommended frequency: Daily.

Disclaimer: This curve is a simplified first-order exponential decay model. Actual pharmacokinetics vary based on injection site, individual metabolism, body composition, and other factors. Half-life values are approximate and based on available preclinical and clinical literature. Many research peptides lack formal human pharmacokinetic studies.

About SS-31 (Elamipretide)

SS-31 (Elamipretide) is a mitochondria-targeted peptide that binds to cardiolipin on the inner mitochondrial membrane. Cardiolipin is essential for electron transport chain efficiency, and its oxidation is a key driver of aging. By stabilizing cardiolipin, SS-31 reduces reactive oxygen species (ROS) production at the source, improves ATP generation, and protects against mitochondrial dysfunction.
