TL;DR
MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide studied for metabolic and exercise-performance outcomes. Reconstitute with BAC water and dose subcutaneously. Most clinical-style protocols cycle on/off across training blocks. Total prep time: ~5 minutes.
What you'll need (materials)
- Vial of MOTS-c 10 mg from Noki Labs
- Bacteriostatic water (0.9% benzyl alcohol)
- Insulin syringes — 31G, 0.5 mL (U-100)
- Alcohol swabs (70% isopropyl)
- Sharps container
Total time required
Reconstitution: ~5 minutes. Each injection: ~2 minutes.
Step-by-step protocol
- Step 1 — Warm the vial. Let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes after the fridge.
- Step 2 — Sanitise both stoppers. Swab and let air-dry.
- Step 3 — Calculate BAC water volume. 2 mL BAC water per 10 mg vial yields 5 mg/mL — 0.1 mL on a U-100 syringe = 500 mcg.
- Step 4 — Draw BAC water. Pull the volume; tap out bubbles.
- Step 5 — Inject BAC water against the vial wall. Tilt 45°; never aim at the powder.
- Step 6 — Swirl gently. Roll the vial until the solution clears.
- Step 7 — Draw your dose. Re-sanitise, invert, draw the calculated volume.
- Step 8 — Inject subcutaneously and log. Pinch an abdominal site, inject at 90°, dispose, log dose, time, and training context.
Typical reference dosing range and cycling
Published reference dosing for MOTS-c commonly sits at 5–10 mg per week, sometimes split into 2–3 doses. A common training-cycle approach for athletes is 4–6 weeks on / 2–4 weeks off, paired with structured training blocks. Always consult a licensed Philippine medical professional. See the MOTS-c Philippines pillar for context.
Storage after reconstitution
Refrigerate at 2–8 °C, upright, away from light. Use within 28 days. Never freeze. See our cold-chain handling guide.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Continuous dosing without an off-cycle.
- Skipping training-context logs — you need to correlate dose with training load.
- Shaking the vial — swirl only.
- Sharing vials — one vial per customer.
FAQ
Q: When during training should I dose? Many cycling protocols dose post-training or on rest days. Pick a consistent timing window for clean data.
Q: Can MOTS-c be stacked with other performance peptides? Some athletic protocols pair MOTS-c with recovery peptides. Always coordinate with your clinician and document combinations.
Q: How long do typical cycles last? 4–6 weeks on, then a 2–4 week washout, then reassess.
Q: Will MOTS-c show on a sports drug test? Athletes competing under WADA / sport-specific bodies should consult their compliance officer before any peptide protocol.
