Who Uses SS-31
Longevity
People targeting cellular aging, aiming to slow mitochondrial decline over decades.
Chronic Fatigue
Those with low energy or age-related fatigue tied to poor mitochondrial output.
Cardiovascular
Protects heart and muscle tissue from oxidative stress and ischemic damage.
Dose per injection
5–10mg
Start at 5mg
Frequency
Daily or 5 on / 2 off
Consistent dosing for best results
Route

Rotate injection sites
Best timing
Morning
Same time daily for consistency
Reconstitution
Standard bacteriostatic water reconstitution.
50mg vial + 5mL bac water = 10mg/mL.
Draw 0.5mL for 5mg dose | Draw 1mL for 10mg dose.
Refrigerate after reconstituting. Use within 30 days.

Note: measurements and amounts vary by compound — always follow the protocol for your specific peptide.
Titration Schedule
| Week | Dose | Frequency | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weeks 1–2 | 5mg | Daily, morning | Conservative start. Assess energy and recovery. |
| Week 3+ | 10mg | Daily (if well tolerated) | Full dose. Most users scale to 10mg by week 3. |
| Off Cycle | None | — | 4 weeks off after 8–12 week run. |

What to Expect
- Improved energy and endurance — often noticeable at weeks 2–3
- Better post-exercise recovery and reduced fatigue
- Cardiovascular improvements especially notable in older users
- Effects are cumulative — the longer the run, the more pronounced the results
Stack tip: Stacks well with NAD+ 1000mg and GHK-Cu for a comprehensive longevity protocol.
Do
- Dose consistently — mitochondrial benefits build over weeks, not days
- Stack with NAD+ for enhanced mitochondrial synergy
- Rotate injection sites to minimize local irritation
Don't
- Expect immediate effects — this is a cumulative longevity compound
- Skip doses frequently — consistency matters for mitochondrial adaptation
