Hazel Szeto, SS-31 peptide, the World's First FDA-Approved Mitochondria-targeted Drug (Longevity Summit, 2025)

Hi Mitofocused and welcome.

I felt like SS-31 helped with my ADD symptoms….the focus and motivation to get things done.

Having said that, I can’t be sure it wasn’t placebo or something else.

I stopped taking it when ‘life happened’ and decided to take that opportunity to take a longer break with the goal of starting again to see if I notice a change. I’ve had a couple of false starts, but I have been very lazy and have not had the oomph to inject daily … ha, if only I was taking SS-31 :).

Now I’ll know to check out my oura stats when I start up regularly again to see if I notice anything.

I’m thrilled for you that you are noticing an effect so quickly!!! I wish you continued success!

Maybe I start back today… you have motivated me.

Thank you for pointing me in that direction. I will read up about it.

I’ve had a very extensive workup so may already have the gene analysis. What should I be wary of before taking it?

I have an Apple Watch and have just looked at the monthly view of how they have changed. It’s very small changes and could of course be secondary to something else.
