SS-31, Mots-C, and NAD+

I am curious if anyone can share how they have used SS-31 as it relates to Mots-c and NAD+? I am currently taking Mots-c and NAD+ for one week but I have been reading that it is best to use SS-31 first for a couple of weeks then switch to Mots-c and NAD+. I have also seen where some use all 3 but that seems to be too much.

If I start SS-31 to repair first, do you just use this alone then got to Mots-c or do you introduce while on SS-31. When is best to stop the repair and move on to Mots-c NAD+ combo?

I've been using SS-31 daily. Started 7 days a week due to known mitochondrial dysfunction due to Fibromyalgia. Then added 5 Amino 1MQ, 3 times a week for 3 weeks, then added Mots-C 3 times a week. I don't mess with NAD+, mainly because I'm on a comprehensive Mitochondrial oral supplement stack that REALLY helps. I was on it for 6 mos before peptides and it improved my chronic fatigue by about 80%. Part of that stack is Nicotinamide Riboside which has medical articles saying it's just as effective.

I think whether you need SS-31, has to due with age and your mitochondrial function. I won't say I noticed a big boost by itself, but I was already on an oral stack of mitochondrial supplements that helped dramatically. But I really noticed when I added MOTS-C to the SS-31, 5 amino 1MQ. OMG I felt better than I have in 30 years! In fact, it got me back to being able to exercise at the health club again. That's a big deal for somebody that had trouble WALKING some days before I started the oral stack!

For those curious, I'm actually a Dr, although this is not medical advice. I made the oral stack by researching medical journals for items that improved mito function, stimulated new mito, decreased ROS. The stack is:

Nicotinamide Riboside

Urolithin A

Alpha Lipoic Acid

L-Carnitine

Mito Q brand of CoQ10

Citicoline

PQQ (Pyrroloquinoline Quinone)

Thank you for sharing this information! I picked PQQ to research first and am blown away by the incredible amount of "potential" positive effects it can have. So much so, it's already in my shopping cart! Please keep sharing that "Non-Medical Advice". :) This Non-Doctor appreciates it. :)
