Mito Stack: SS-31 (7mg) / MOTS-c (5mg) / NAD+ (500mg)
Longevity / mitochondrial functionDescription
The mito stack combines the three most researched mitochondrial-targeted compounds available, each addressing a different failure point in the mitochondrial energy system. ss-31 (elamipretide) repairs the inner mitochondrial membrane by binding and stabilizing cardiolipin — the phospholipid that holds the electron transport chain in place. when cardiolipin degrades with age, electron flow becomes inefficient and reactive oxygen species production spikes. ss-31 fixes this structural problem first. mots-c then acts as the metabolic reprogramming signal — a mitochondria-encoded peptide that activates ampk, driving mitochondrial biogenesis, glucose uptake, and fat oxidation. finally, nad+ supplies the essential coenzyme substrate that every mitochondrial energy process depends on, restoring the declining nad+ pool that drops approximately 50% between ages 40 and 60. the protocol sequence matters: ss-31 first to repair membrane integrity, mots-c added to build new mitochondrial capacity on a repaired foundation, nad+ supporting both throughout. ss-31 received fda accelerated approval as elamipretide/forzinity for barth syndrome in september 2025 — the first mitochondria-targeted therapeutic approved in the us. for research and educational purposes only.
