MOTS-c is a mitochondrial peptide used for metabolic and energy protocols. Enter your dose, vial size and water to see exact syringe units.
= 2,500 mcg | Typical dose is 2.5 to 5 mg, 2 to 3 times a week.
1 mg = 1,000 mcg (micrograms). Most peptide protocols are written in mcg.
Common vial sizes are 10 and 40 mg.
For a 10 mg vial mixed with 2 mL bacteriostatic water (5.00 mg/mL), on a U-100 insulin syringe.
| Dose | Volume | Units | Doses per vial |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 mg | 0.200 mL | 20u | 10 |
| 2.5 mg | 0.500 mL | 50u | 4 |
| 5 mg | 1.000 mL | 100u | 2 |
| 10 mg | 2.000 mL | 200u | 1 |
Optimization protocols usually use 2.5 mg per dose, 2 to 3 times weekly. Higher autoimmune protocols use about 5 mg with more concentrated mixing.
Swirl gently to mix and keep the mixed vial refrigerated.
Every step below uses the numbers you entered above.
Swab the rubber tops of the 10 mg MOTS-c vial and the bacteriostatic water vial with fresh alcohol pads. Let them air dry for a few seconds.
Pull 2 mL of bacteriostatic water into a reconstitution syringe (usually a 3 mL syringe with a 21g needle).
Inject the water against the inside wall of the vial, don't blast it directly onto the powder. This protects the peptide from shear damage.
Gently swirl until the powder is fully dissolved and the liquid is clear. Never shake, foaming denatures the peptide.
On your 100-unit (1 mL) insulin syringe, pull the plunger back until the rubber tip lines up with 50, that's your 2.50 mg dose. Tap out any air bubbles, then inject as directed.
Cap the vial and store at 2–8 °C (36–46 °F). Most reconstituted peptides remain stable for 3–4 weeks refrigerated.
With a 10 mg vial mixed with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water (5 mg/mL), 5 mg is 1 mL, which is 100 units. Using 1 mL of water halves that to 50 units.
1 to 2 mL. Less water keeps larger doses inside a single 1 mL syringe.
Usually 2 to 3 times per week for about 8 weeks, then a break.
