How to reconstitute SS-31

SS-31 reconstitutes to a set concentration. Add 0.5 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 10 mg vial for a 20 mg/mL solution.

Units are shown for a U-100 insulin syringe. A common starting dose is 2 mg. At 20 mg/mL, that draws to 10 units on a U-100 insulin syringe.

How SS-31 works

Binds cardiolipin in the inner mitochondrial membrane to stabilize cristae structure. This enhances electron transport chain efficiency and reduces reactive oxygen species.

Reported side effects

When is SS-31 taken?

SS-31 is commonly taken in the morning.

Frequently asked

How much bacteriostatic water do I add to SS-31?

Add 0.5 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 10 mg SS-31 vial for a 20 mg/mL solution.

What is a common SS-31 dose?

A common SS-31 starting dose is 2 mg, which at 20 mg/mL draws to 10 units on a U-100 insulin syringe.

How do you reconstitute SS-31?

Draw bacteriostatic water into a syringe, inject it slowly down the inside glass of the SS-31 vial (not onto the powder), and swirl gently until clear. Store refrigerated and use within the common window.

How do you reconstitute a 10 mg SS-31 vial?

Add 0.5 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 10 mg SS-31 vial for a 20 mg/mL solution. A 2 mg dose then draws to 10 units on a U-100 insulin syringe.

How do you reconstitute a 50 mg SS-31 vial?

Add 2.5 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 50 mg SS-31 vial for a 20 mg/mL solution. A 2 mg dose then draws to 10 units on a U-100 insulin syringe.
