MOTS-C

A mitochondrial-derived peptide supported mainly by cell and animal experiments. Human research largely measures endogenous MOTS-C rather than administering it.

Evidence context, not a personal protocol

Quantities below reproduce their stated source context—label, human study, laboratory work or educational guide. They do not assess suitability, product equivalence or individual risk.

Dosage and protocol evidence

Each card states what the quantities are based on. A third-party or animal schedule is not a validated human dose.

Community GuideSubcutaneous in guideDaily
Third-party educational schedule for a 5 mg research vial

0.5 mg daily in weeks 1-2, 1 mg in weeks 3-4, 1.5 mg in weeks 5-6 and 2 mg in weeks 7-8

Human publications mainly measure endogenous MOTS-C; they do not validate this exogenous administration schedule. The source describes community research practice.

Evidence summary

A mitochondrial-derived peptide supported mainly by cell and animal experiments. Human research largely measures endogenous MOTS-C rather than administering it.

Protocol basis

The evidence page separates human observational physiology from exogenous animal dosing. Neither supplies a defensible injected human protocol.

What remains uncertain

Human pharmacokinetics, dose-response, safety, formulation and clinically meaningful outcomes remain unestablished.

Warnings and contraindications

No validated human administration schedule for exogenous MOTS-C was identified.
Animal quantities do not convert directly into a human protocol.
Metabolic and exercise claims remain experimental.
