Dosage Protocols
Each row reflects a common research protocol variant. These are reference ranges derived from published literature and community research — not medical guidance.
Protocol 1
Standard Research Protocol
Dose
10mg subcutaneous 2x weekly
Duration
4-6 weeks
Twice-weekly dosing is the most commonly referenced MOTS-c research pattern. Typically paired with glucose tracking.
Protocol 2
Daily Microdose Protocol
Dose
2-5mg daily
Duration
2-4 weeks
Daily microdose variant explored for continuous signal. Shorter research window than twice-weekly protocols.
Protocol 3
Loading Protocol
Dose
10mg every other day
Duration
3 weeks
Used at the start of a research cycle to establish baseline response. Transition to 2x weekly maintenance after loading.

Research Considerations
Cautions
- MOTS-c research is still emerging — always cross-check published literature before protocol design.
- Compounds targeting mitochondrial function may alter energy and exercise tolerance during research.
- Avoid combining with metformin-type pharmaceuticals without very careful metabolic monitoring.
