How many units is 5 mg of MOTS-c?

In a 10 mg vial with 2 mL of water, 100 units, a full 1 mL syringe. In a 10 mg vial with 1 mL, 50 units. In a 5 mg vial with 1 mL, the whole vial, 100 units.

How much bacteriostatic water for a 10 mg MOTS-c vial?

1 mL gives 10 mg/mL, so 5 mg is 50 units and 10 mg is the full 100 units. 2 mL means a 10 mg dose is 2 mL, two full syringes, so for high doses less water is easier.

How often is MOTS-c taken?

Reports describe two or three times a week at 5 to 10 mg, or short daily courses. There is no licensed schedule; it is a research compound.

MOTS-c dosage chart

5 mg and 10 mg vials at three water volumes, every commonly reported dose converted to the mark on a U-100 syringe.

MOTS-c is dosed in whole milligrams a few times a week, which makes the draws large. The chart shows 5 mg and 10 mg vials at 1, 2 and 3 mL of bacteriostatic water for every commonly reported dose. It is not an approved medicine and is sold for research.

Frequency, as commonly reported

Reports cluster at 5 to 10 mg two or three times a week, sometimes 5 mg daily for a short course, with cycles of a few weeks. At 10 mg three times a week a 10 mg vial is a single dose and a week needs three vials; at 5 mg twice a week a 10 mg vial is a week. This is the compound where the vial size, not the water, decides your cost.

Common questions

How many units is 5 mg of MOTS-c?: In a 10 mg vial with 2 mL of water, 100 units, a full 1 mL syringe. In a 10 mg vial with 1 mL, 50 units. In a 5 mg vial with 1 mL, the whole vial, 100 units.
How much bacteriostatic water for a 10 mg MOTS-c vial?: 1 mL gives 10 mg/mL, so 5 mg is 50 units and 10 mg is the full 100 units. 2 mL means a 10 mg dose is 2 mL, two full syringes, so for high doses less water is easier.
How often is MOTS-c taken?: Reports describe two or three times a week at 5 to 10 mg, or short daily courses. There is no licensed schedule; it is a research compound.

Before you use these numbers This is a unit-conversion tool. It turns a vial strength and a water volume into a concentration, a draw volume and a syringe mark. It does not tell you what to take, whether to take it, or whether a compound is safe for you. Most compounds listed are sold for laboratory research and are not approved for human use. Nothing here is medical advice. Dosing decisions belong with a licensed clinician who knows your history. Always check the strength printed on your own vial rather than trusting a preset.
