MOTS-c + 5-Amino-1MQ Blend
Mitochondrial + metabolic recomp blend
Mitochondrial biogenesis meets NNMT inhibition — the metabolic recomp stack.

Research chemical vendors can't legally label products with the real name, so MOTS-c + 5-Amino-1MQ Blend often appears under coded SKUs. If you're shopping and see any of these, it's the same compound:
- MOTS+1MQ
- Metabolic Blend
Codes shown are for identification only.
Your draw
What it actually is
MOTS-c is a mitochondrial derived peptide that improves insulin sensitivity and cellular energy production; 5-Amino-1MQ blocks NNMT in fat cells to restore NAD+ and SAM pools. Together they attack the two biggest drivers of stubborn body composition: sluggish mitochondria and fat cell metabolic drag.
AM dosing is best — both compounds are stimulatory. Pairs well with zone-2 cardio protocols.
Why people use it
- Metabolic recomp — losing fat while building lean tissue
- Age related energy and insulin sensitivity decline
- Stalled progress on GLP-1s or diet alone
- Athletes optimizing endurance and recovery

How it works
MOTS-c is a 16-amino acid mitochondrial derived peptide that improves insulin sensitivity and mitochondrial biogenesis. 5-Amino-1MQ blocks NNMT in adipose tissue, restoring NAD+ and SAM pools inside fat cells. Together they address both cellular energy production and the metabolic drag of stubborn adipose tissue.
Health benefits
- Improved insulin sensitivity
- More cellular energy and endurance
- Targeted fat loss without appetite suppression
- Age related metabolic recovery
What you'll feel
- More stable energy through the day
- Fat loss without hunger
- Better workout output within 3–4 weeks
Pros
- Non-GLP-1 fat loss mechanism
- Preserves appetite for muscle building nutrition
- Complements GLP-1 protocols nicely
Cons
- Slower visible fat loss than incretins
- MOTS-c is expensive per mg
- Best results require clean diet and training
Side effects to know
- Mild injection site reaction
- Rare morning nausea early on

Typical timeline
General pattern for the Mitochondrial category. Individual response varies.
- Week 1Energy floor lifts. Fewer afternoon crashes. Workouts feel less taxing.
- Weeks 2–4Endurance and recovery both improve. Some users report better glucose control.
- Weeks 4–8Peak effect. Consider a break so mitochondrial adaptation is preserved, not blunted.
The reconstitution math
- 1Reconstitute the 20 mg vial with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water. Tilt — don't shake.
- 2Concentration becomes 10,000 mcg/mL (10 mg/mL).
- 3For a 1.5 mg dose, draw 0.150 mL — that's 15 units on a 1 mL insulin syringe.
- 4One vial gives you approximately 13 doses.
Reminder: 100 units on an insulin syringe = 1 mL. Always start at half the listed dose for the first week and rotate injection sites between arms, legs, abdomen, and glutes.
