Timing
Inject once daily at a consistent time. Morning administration is preferred. SS-31 targets mitochondrial cardiolipin, so timing relative to food is not critical.
Cycling
Standard protocols run 8–12 weeks. The TAZPOWER clinical trial used 12 weeks of continuous daily dosing. Limited data beyond 12 weeks of continuous use.
Stacking
May be combined with Epithalon for complementary cellular and mitochondrial protection via different mechanisms. No formal stacking studies exist.
Storage
Store lyophilized vials at -20 °C for long-term or 2–8 °C for up to 3 months. After reconstitution, refrigerate and use within 28 days. Protect from light.
