Potential Benefits of SS-31 in the Human Body

1. Improved Mitochondrial Function

• Enhanced ATP production in high-energy-demand tissues: heart, brain, skeletal muscle.

• Better exercise tolerance, energy, and endurance.

2. Cardioprotection

• Improved cardiac function in models of heart failure, ischemia-reperfusion injury, and cardiomyopathy.

• Possible reversal of age-related diastolic dysfunction.

3. Neuroprotection

• Protection against cognitive decline, mitochondrial dysfunction in Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and ALS.

• May improve neuronal survival and brain energy metabolism.

4. Eye Health

• Human trials have shown benefit in mitochondrial eye diseases, such as:
  Dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD)
  Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON)

5. Anti-Aging and Longevity Effects

• In animal models:
  Increased lifespan and healthspan.
  Improved muscle mass, strength, and function in aged mice.

• Potential to slow mitochondrial aging processes in humans.

6. Muscle Performance and Recovery

• Enhanced skeletal muscle function in aging and mitochondrial myopathies.

• Reduced muscle fatigue and better recovery after exertion.

7. Metabolic Benefits

• Improved insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism in animal models.

• Protection against metabolic syndrome and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
