What Is It?
SS-31
Mitochondria-targeted antioxidant tetrapeptide.
Bacteriostatic Water
Sterile water containing a bacteriostatic preservative, commonly used when preparing multi-use research vials.
How To Mix SS-31
1
CleanUse alcohol swabs to clean the tops of both vials.
2
Draw BAC WaterDraw the selected amount of bacteriostatic water.
3
Inject SlowlyAdd the liquid slowly down the side of the vial.
4
Swirl GentlyDo not shake. Swirl gently until dissolved.

Store ProperlyStore as directed and protect from heat and light.
Best Practices & Common Mistakes
Best Practices
- Use sterile technique.
- Protect from light and heat.
- Store refrigerated when appropriate.
- Use clean syringe-unit math before measuring.
Common Mistakes
- Confusing milligrams with milliliters.
- Choosing an option with awkward decimal units.
- Using too little liquid for very small measurements.
- Shaking the vial aggressively.
SS-31 Storage & Handling
Lyophilized Powder: −20°C (−4°F) for long-term storage (up to 24 months). Refrigeration 2–8°C (36–46°F) for short-term use (up to ~3 months). Original sealed vial in the freezer is safest.
Reconstituted Solution: 2–8°C (36–46°F), use within ~7–14 days. Keep sealed, avoid light, and do not repeat freeze-thaw cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, but a clinical protocol uses 6 mL of bacteriostatic water for a 300 mg vial. The peptide is water-soluble up to 100 mg/mL.
The elimination half-life is short—2–3 hours after subcutaneous injection. This means your calculator’s “single daily dose” may need adjustment. Some research splits the daily dose into 2 injections to maintain levels.
The information is conflicting. Your calculator likes neat numbers, but a specific protocol uses 3 mL of BAC for a 30 mg vial (~10 mg/mL). This makes 1 unit = 100 mcg.
Yes. The approved commercial version is the hydrochloride (HCl) salt, while research-grade is often TFA. Although differences are small, the molecular weight may be reported as 639.79 or 749.2.
Once mixed, it is stable at 2–8°C for only 2 weeks. According to the calculator, discard any remaining solution after 4 weeks.
Practical takeaway: If your real goal is weight or metabolic health, the most useful next step is discussing approved treatment options with a clinician rather than relying on an unapproved compound.
