Injuries & OrthopedicsAn evidence-graded review of the peptides marketed for endurance and aerobic performance — elamipretide (SS-31), MOTS-c and AOD-9604. The honest 2026 verdict: no peptide is proven to raise VO₂max or race performance in healthy humans, the category is preclinical-dominant, and MOTS-c is WADA-banned at all times.
