Mitochondrial peptide

MOTS-c reconstitution.

MOTS-c vials are typically 5 mg or 10 mg. Doses are larger than most peptides (5-10 mg per injection), so reconstitution volume matters for keeping draw volumes manageable. 2 mL bacteriostatic water is standard.

MOTS-c specifics

What to know about this peptide.

Half-life

Half-life data limited in humans; animal studies suggest ~4-6 hours for plasma, longer biological effects.

Stability after mixing

Refrigerate after reconstitution. Use within 21-28 days.

Typical use

Mitochondrial support, insulin sensitivity, exercise capacity. Often dosed 2-3× weekly rather than daily.

Not medical advice

The math on this page is correct for the listed vial and BAC-water volume. The decision to reconstitute and inject MOTS-c belongs to you and a clinician who knows your full history — not to a webpage.

Frequently asked

MOTS-c questions

What vial size is MOTS-c usually sold in?

MOTS-c most commonly ships as 5 mg or 10 mg of lyophilized powder. The standard reconstitution is 2 mL of bacteriostatic water, which yields clean unit-mark math on a U-100 insulin syringe for the doses used in most protocols.

How much bacteriostatic water do I add to a MOTS-c vial?

The standard volume is 2 mL of bacteriostatic water. You can use more (easier to draw, lower concentration) or less (more concentrated, smaller draw volume) without changing the peptide itself — only the syringe math changes. The dose table on this page is pre-calculated for 2 mL.

What is the half-life of MOTS-c?

Half-life data limited in humans; animal studies suggest ~4-6 hours for plasma, longer biological effects.

How long does reconstituted MOTS-c last in the fridge?

Refrigerate after reconstitution. Use within 21-28 days.

What is MOTS-c typically used for?

Mitochondrial support, insulin sensitivity, exercise capacity. Often dosed 2-3× weekly rather than daily.

What syringe should I use for MOTS-c?

U-100 insulin syringes (29–31 gauge, 8–13 mm needle) are standard for subcutaneous peptide injection. Each unit on a U-100 syringe equals 0.01 mL. The dose table above shows how many units to draw for each common dose, given the vial size and standard bacteriostatic water volume.
