SS-31 versus NAD+ precursors

- NMN and NR boost NAD+ levels, supporting sirtuin activity and mitochondrial enzyme function. They are readily available as supplements without the legal ambiguity of research peptides.
- NAD+ precursors work through a different mechanism than SS-31. They support general mitochondrial function by increasing a crucial coenzyme but do not directly address cardiolipin damage or membrane structure. For those with significant mitochondrial membrane dysfunction, SS-31 may provide benefits that NAD+ precursors cannot.
- Combining approaches makes sense for comprehensive mitochondrial support. NAD+ precursors can be taken orally with minimal hassle, while SS-31 requires injection. A practical approach might use NAD+ precursors as a baseline with SS-31 added during particularly demanding training phases.
