Product Information
If you are looking to buy SS-31 peptide in the UK, VITALA’s SS-31 10mg vial is one of the most carefully formulated research-grade options available from a domestic UK supplier today.
SS-31, also known as Elamipretide or Szeto-Schiller Peptide 31, is a synthetic mitochondria-targeted peptide that has become one of the most exciting compounds in modern biomedical research. It was developed specifically to penetrate the inner mitochondrial membrane — a feat that most compounds cannot achieve — where it works directly at the site of cellular energy production.
What makes SS-31 so compelling is its precision. Rather than acting broadly across the body, it targets the mitochondria themselves, protecting them from oxidative damage, improving their efficiency, and supporting the overall health of cells that depend on high energy output. This makes it particularly valuable for studying conditions rooted in mitochondrial dysfunction.
SS-31 supports improved mitochondrial function, reduced oxidative stress, enhanced cellular energy production, better cardiovascular health, and protection against age-related cellular decline. It has shown these effects across a wide range of research models, making it one of the most versatile and promising peptides being studied in longevity and regenerative science today.
VITALA’s SS-31 10mg vial gives UK researchers a stable, high-purity lyophilised compound that is straightforward to reconstitute and consistent to work with across extended laboratory protocols.
Research Focus
SS-31 has opened up genuinely new possibilities in mitochondrial research. Because it works directly inside the mitochondria rather than upstream or peripherally, it gives researchers an unusually direct tool for studying how mitochondrial health affects the broader function of cells, tissues, and organs.
In UK laboratory settings, the VITALA SS-31 10mg vial is currently being used to explore:
Mitochondrial Protection and Function: SS-31 binds to cardiolipin — a phospholipid found exclusively in the inner mitochondrial membrane — stabilising it and protecting it from oxidative damage. Researchers are studying how this protective action preserves mitochondrial structure and sustains energy output in high-demand cells.
Oxidative Stress Reduction: One of the most consistently observed effects of SS-31 is its ability to reduce the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) within the mitochondria. Studies are examining how this reduction in oxidative stress translates to improved cellular health and longevity across different tissue types.
Cardiovascular Health: The heart is one of the most energy-demanding organs in the body and is particularly vulnerable to mitochondrial dysfunction. Researchers are investigating how SS-31 supports cardiac cell health, improves heart function following ischaemic events, and protects against mitochondria-related cardiovascular decline.
Cellular Energy Production: By improving the efficiency of the electron transport chain within the mitochondria, SS-31 enhances ATP production — the fundamental energy currency of the cell. Studies are exploring how this energy boost affects performance, recovery, and resilience in energy-dependent tissues.
Ageing and Longevity: Mitochondrial decline is considered one of the primary drivers of biological ageing. SS-31 is being studied as a tool to slow or reverse aspects of this decline, making it a key compound in the growing field of longevity and healthy ageing research.
Neurological Protection: The brain relies heavily on mitochondrial efficiency. Researchers are investigating how SS-31 protects neurons from oxidative damage and whether its mitochondrial support translates to measurable neuroprotective effects in preclinical models.
Kidney and Renal Function: SS-31 has shown promising results in studies related to renal health, particularly in models of acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease. Researchers are studying how mitochondrial protection in renal cells translates to improved kidney function and resilience.
Composition of the SS-31 Research Vial
VITALA SS-31 is a single-compound research vial, giving researchers a focused and unambiguous tool for studying this mitochondria-targeted peptide in isolation.
SS-31 (Elamipretide): 10mg — A tetrapeptide with the sequence D-Arg-2’6′-dimethylTyr-Lys-Phe-NH2, designed specifically to penetrate the inner mitochondrial membrane and bind to cardiolipin. By stabilising cardiolipin and reducing ROS production at the source, SS-31 supports improved mitochondrial efficiency, reduced oxidative stress, enhanced ATP production, and protection against mitochondria-driven cellular decline. It has demonstrated benefits across cardiovascular, neurological, renal, and metabolic research models.
The compound is supplied as a lyophilised (freeze-dried) powder. It requires reconstitution with bacteriostatic water under sterile laboratory conditions before use. This format ensures peptide stability during shipping and provides an extended shelf life when stored at the correct temperature.
Why Choose VITALA SS-31 from Peptide Shop UK
Research into mitochondrial health demands compounds that are pure, consistent, and reliable. Every VITALA SS-31 10mg vial is independently tested and confirmed to a purity of greater than 98% using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). That means every vial you order meets the same exacting standard — no batch-to-batch variation, no uncertainty about what you are working with.
Each vial is sealed under sterile manufacturing conditions, ensuring the peptide is fully protected from contamination before it reaches your laboratory. From the first study to the last, the quality of your compound stays exactly where it needs to be.
For UK researchers who need to buy SS-31 peptide from a trustworthy domestic source, Peptide Shop UK offers fast tracked delivery, transparent purity documentation, and a research-grade product range designed around the needs of the scientific community. Reliable quality, every single order.
Product Specifications
Product Name: SS-31 (Elamipretide) Format: Lyophilised Powder – Injectable Vial Total Peptide Content: 10mg Purity: >98% (HPLC Verified) Reconstitution: Bacteriostatic Water Required Intended Use: Research & Development Only
Storage and Laboratory Handling
Storing your SS-31 vial correctly is simple and important. Before reconstitution, keep the vial refrigerated at between 2°C and 8°C and away from direct sunlight. Do not freeze the lyophilised powder, as freezing can compromise the structural integrity of the peptide.
Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, store the solution in the refrigerator and use it within the recommended stability window for bacteriostatic peptide preparations. Always replace the cap firmly after each use to keep the research environment sterile and protect the remaining solution from degradation.
