Mitochondrial

SS-31 Dosage Calculator

A mitochondria-targeting peptide (elamipretide); investigational, with mixed trial results. Use the calculator below to convert your vial size, bacteriostatic water, and dose into the exact volume to draw and the mark on a U-100 insulin syringe.

Concentration
5000 mcg/mL
Draw per dose
2.000 mL
On a U-100 syringe
200 IU
Doses per vial
1

Tip: adding 0.50 mL of bacteriostatic water would put this dose on a clean, easy-to-read mark on a U-100 insulin syringe.

How to use this calculator

  1. Vial size — the milligrams printed on your SS-31 vial (commonly 10 or 50 mg).
  2. Bacteriostatic water — how much you add to dissolve the powder. More water = a larger, easier-to-read draw at the same dose.
  3. Dose — the amount you intend to draw, in micrograms. This is your number, not a recommendation.
  4. Read the IU mark — on a U-100 insulin syringe, 1 IU = 0.01 mL. The calculator shows the exact tick to fill to.
