Frequently asked
How long does SS-31 (Elamipretide) stay in your system?
With a half-life of ≈ 4 h, roughly 97% of a single SS-31 (Elamipretide) dose is cleared after five half-lives — about 0.8 days. Repeated dosing accumulates and takes correspondingly longer to clear.
What does a ≈ 4 h half-life mean in practice?
Every 4 h, the remaining amount halves: 100% → 50% → 25% → 12.5%, and so on. The curve above plots exactly this decay for a single dose.
Where does this SS-31 (Elamipretide) half-life number come from?
Elamipretide (SS-31) SubQ PK ≈ 4 h; FDA accelerated approval 2025 (Barth syndrome). We cite a primary source for every half-life we publish and version every change.
