SS-31 (Elamipretide) — Research Dosing Protocol

[iMemphis]

My rat just got ss-31 in today and after reading this, I think

Weeks 1-3: 4mg Daily
Weeks 4-6: 8mg Daily

should work yes?

@macleeezy @diegoc since you guys are both using this for your rats also, did you guys notice anything when doign 4mg right off the bat?

just to confirm:

Using the peptide calculator,

Desired dose is 4MG,
Vial size is 10MG
2ML bac water

I would need to give my Rat 80 units daily?

@imemphis I've done 4mg (just finished that part and moved to 10mg in the last few days) - was a pretty easy adjustment. That said, and with the caveat that the following comment is a matter of taste, I'd go with 1 mL to a 10mg vial and do 40 units. From where I sit, for me, 80 units is a lot in an injection. When I did 4mg I did specifically 10mg/mL concentration and thus 40 units for 4mg. To be clear, its a matter of taste, there's nothing wrong with your plan if 80 unit shots are comfortable for you

Thanks for the heads up @peptideed !

@imemphis oh... and when I transitioned to 10mg a day recently, I switched to a 20mg/mL concentration (50 units to get 10mg). Injection went smoothly.

@iMemphis I’m just planning for the future. I have a kit of SS-31 but haven’t started it yet. Planning on running fox04-dri first but need to finish up a couple other thing first

I just finished my SS-31 run. I decided to do phases 1-2 and skip the burst phase mainly due to costs. I did a concentration of 10mg in 40 units (~24mg/ml). I occasional mild ISR but no worse than from 12 units of glow. I found using the gansulin pen made it a breeze.

Now running MOTS-C and planning to add NAD+.

@researchcat Dr Sawicki dropped a short on YouTube about how antioxidants block Mot-C from entering the cell. So you’ll probably want to research Mot and NAD on different runs.

@MyB that’s interesting. My inclination was to do them all separately, but it seems a lot of people (YouTubers) are suggesting you blast everything all together. Appreciate the tip.

Edit: Oh, I see, so not saying you can’t research them together, but that you shouldn’t research them at the same time of day.

@researchcat i made a post under the mot-c dosing topic. https://community.peptidecritic.com/post/2819
Based on half life’s, dosing Mot-C then dose NAD+ 8 hrs later would get full benefits of both without overlap.
