MOTS-c Dosage Chart and Protocol Guide

Research reference · Updated September 2026 · ~6 min read

MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide studied for its role in metabolism and energy regulation. It is a newer research target, and dosing draws on early studies and community protocols. This guide collects the reported ranges. Figures are research-reported, not dosing advice.

How MOTS-c dosing is structured

MOTS-c doses are given in milligrams and are usually spread across the week rather than taken daily. Because it is studied for metabolic signaling rather than acute effects, protocols favor a steady rhythm over frequent dosing.

ContextReported doseFrequency
Lower research range5 mg2 to 3 times per week
Common research range10 mg2 to 3 times per week
Cycle length4 to 6 weeksthen a break

A frequent pattern is 10 mg two or three times weekly for a set block. Convert a milligram dose into syringe units with the dosage calculator using your vial size and water amount.

Weekly rhythm: unlike daily peptides, MOTS-c protocols often space doses evenly, for example Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, to maintain steady signaling.

Timing and lifestyle context

MOTS-c research links it to exercise metabolism, so some protocols place doses around training. Review tolerability in the MOTS-c side effects overview and what people report over time in MOTS-c before and after.

Sourcing

As a newer peptide, quality varies more between suppliers. Third-party tested material matters. Compare vendors on the supplier list before starting a research block.
