MOTS-c
🔬 Overview
MOTS-c is a peptide encoded within mitochondrial DNA and studied for its role in metabolism and energy regulation. It is a newer research target and is linked in the literature to exercise metabolism and insulin signalling.
Unlike daily peptides, MOTS-c protocols usually space doses across the week to maintain steady signalling.
💉 Research-Reported Dosing
| Protocol | Dose | Frequency | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lower research | 5 mg | 2-3x per week | Introductory range |
| Common research | 10 mg | 2-3x per week | Frequently cited |
| Cycle | 4-6 weeks | Weekly rhythm | Then a break |

⚗️ Reconstitution & Solubility
- Bring vial and bacteriostatic water to room temperature
- Swab stoppers and let dry
- Add bacteriostatic water gently down the vial wall
- Swirl until clear, do not shake
- Refrigerate at 2 to 8 C after reconstitution
📍 Administration
Subcutaneous injection, spaced two to three times per week. Some protocols place doses around training. See the MOTS-c dosage guide and the side effects overview.
📚 Research Notes
Research links MOTS-c to metabolic regulation, blood sugar handling, and exercise response, largely in animal models and early work. Human data is limited.
