SS-31 50mg Dosage Protocol
Preparation, measurement, commonly documented protocol ranges, and storage for a SS-31 50mg vial.
1. Preparation and Measurement
SS-31 50mg With 2mL of Diluent
Add 2mL of bacteriostatic water to the vial. The resulting concentration is 25mg/mL. On a U-100 syringe, each unit contains 250mcg.
Preparation
- Draw 2mL of bacteriostatic water using sterile equipment.
- Let the liquid run slowly down the inside wall of the vial.
- Gently swirl until dissolved. Do not shake.
- Label with the preparation date and refrigerate.
Check the calculation with the peptide calculator.
2. Commonly Documented Schedule
Route commonly described: subcutaneous in circulated protocols. Frequency: once daily.
| Period | Documented amount | Measurement |
|---|---|---|
| Weeks 1-2 | 5mg once daily | 0.2mL / 20 units |
| Weeks 3-4 | 10mg once daily | 0.4mL / 40 units |
| Weeks 5-8 | 15mg once daily | 0.6mL / 60 units |
Vial estimate: One 50mg vial contains approximately 10 administrations at the first listed amount or 3 at the final listed amount.
Practical Notes
- The table applies only to this vial prepared with exactly 2mL.
- Record the amount, date, and preparation used.
3. Supplies Needed
- SS-31 50mg vial.
- 2mL of bacteriostatic water per vial.
- Sterile U-100 syringes.
- Alcohol swabs.
- Sharps container.
4. Storage and Handling
- Keep unopened vials cool, dry, dark, and protected from moisture.
- After preparation, refrigerate at 2-8 degrees C.

- Do not use material with particles, discoloration, or a damaged seal.
5. Research Context
SS-31, also studied as elamipretide, targets mitochondrial membranes and has been evaluated in preclinical models and human trials. Clinical results have been mixed, and trial formulations cannot be assumed equivalent to research material.
SS-31 is not approved for general therapeutic use. The table records a circulated convention and is not a clinical recommendation.
