Mechanism of Action

Selectively concentrates on the inner mitochondrial membrane, stabilises cardiolipin, prevents cytochrome c release, restores electron transport chain efficiency, and reduces mitochondrial ROS.

Clinical Applications

  • βœ“Heart failure and cardiac mitochondrial dysfunction
  • βœ“Barth syndrome (clinical trials)
  • βœ“Age-related mitochondrial decline
  • βœ“Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury
  • βœ“Skeletal muscle dysfunction and exercise intolerance

Dosing Protocol

Recommended Dosing

SC injection. 0.25–1 mg/kg/day in clinical trials. Off-label: 0.5–4 mg/day for anti-aging protocols. Very limited human data outside trials.
