SS‑31 Injection: How It Tasted and My Energy Levels

Posted by earlyrenee in Longevity & Anti-Aging - 1 points, 0 comments.

I started SS‑31 a few weeks ago after reading about its mitochondrial work. The protocol says 5‑40 mg daily, and I went with 20 mg in the morning. The first injection was a bit of a shock – a sharp sting at the site and a sudden metallic taste that made me double‑take the jab. I also felt a mild headache the next hour, which subsided after a glass of water.

After about a month, I noticed a subtle shift in my workouts. My post‑run recovery was quicker, and I seemed to get more out-specific pulls. I’m not claiming this is a miracle, just that the energy to go for that 5‑mile run feels less like a battle. I also got an injection‑site rash that healed in a few days but left me wondering if anyone else has seen that.

Does anyone else feel less fatigue or have anecdotal markers of improved mitochondrial function? Any tips on getting past the taste disturbance?
