SS-31 peptide calculator
Pre-filled SS-31 dosage and reconstitution math: a 10 mg vial, 2 ml of bacteriostatic water, and the resulting U-100 insulin-syringe units. Adjust the inputs below or open the full calculator.
How to reconstitute SS-31
- Wipe both vial stoppers with a fresh alcohol swab and let them dry.
- Draw 2 ml of bacteriostatic water into a syringe.
- Insert the needle at an angle into the SS-31 vial and let the water run slowly down the inner wall — do not inject directly onto the powder.
- Do not shake. Gently swirl the vial until the peptide fully dissolves.
- Store the reconstituted vial refrigerated (2–8 °C / 36–46 °F) and use within roughly 28 days.
- Draw each dose to the unit mark shown above for your target 2000 mcg dose.
About SS-31
SS-31 (elamipretide) is a synthetic tetrapeptide that selectively concentrates in mitochondria, binds cardiolipin on the inner membrane, and stabilizes mitochondrial structure and function.
Half-life: Approximately 4 hours (subcutaneous)
Typical dose range: 2–40 mg (2,000–40,000 mcg) per day in clinical trials; research protocols vary widely
Class: Mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide
SS-31 calculator FAQ
Is this a SS-31 peptide calculator or a reconstitution calculator?
Both. This SS-31 calculator converts vial strength, bacteriostatic-water volume, and target dose into milliliters and insulin-syringe units. It does not recommend a medical dose.
How much bacteriostatic water for a 10 mg SS-31 vial?
This page is pre-filled with 2 ml of bacteriostatic water for a 10 mg SS-31 vial because that is a common research ratio. You can adjust the water amount in the full calculator.
How many units is a 2000 mcg SS-31 dose?
With the default 10 mg vial and 2 ml BAC-water ratio, the preview above calculates the U-100 syringe units for a 2000 mcg dose. Change the dose if your protocol uses a different amount.
Does this SS-31 dosage calculator give medical advice?
No. It only performs unit math. Dosing, titration, and whether SS-31 is appropriate are clinical decisions that should be made with a licensed healthcare professional.
