Mots-c dosing
-
I have been using for 3 weeks. The recommendation i got was 5 days on 2 days off 1mg dosing prior to AM workout. Then I am reading some do 3mg 3 days a week. What has worked best for you? Thanks in advance.

This probably isn’t the answer you want, but there are a number of different protocols involving MOTS-C by itself and as part of a stack. which one is best for you depends on your goals, efficacy, and how well you tolerate higher doses of MOTS-C. The main protocol on this site recommends starting at 200mcg in order to evaluate tolerance. 3MG x 3 times a week is something I have only seen in combination with SS-31 and NAD+, and those doses seemed very high for a beginner to research.
Take your time, titrate slowly. Figure out what works best for you.

@Cancun_coach Hola Cancun, I am one who researched MOTSc 1mg, NAD+ 10-20mg and SS31 1mg synergistically. At first it was daily and now every other day. In between I suppliment COQ10, methylene blue, aminos such as L-carnitene, Arginine, Aspartate... I am back on board another cycle of the same and it does not kick in like before. I see that as a sign I do t really need it because my mitochondria is on point, well point enough. We can't be throddling the mitochondria without a good foundation. My only challenge is finding the right diet to keep supporting it. Some foods do tax you.
I would use the 5:2 as a base line and research if titrating the dose will make any different. If 1mg is working for you stick to it
If you want to explore other protocols and it is within you budget go for it. Do what works for you. Its your research and share it. If you hit a platue and want to push energy further there are options. Dont forget to share your finds. Be patient, titrate up until you find your sweet spot. Listen to your body. If it is right for you it will feel right. You don't have to tolerate anything. -
I want to add MOTSc to what I'm already doing which is 1.5mg SS-31 daily and Reta. I am concerned about any side effects associated with MOTSc. To the boards knowledge are there any side effects that should be of concern? And I'm also considering adding Tesa into mix as well as AOD-9604. So far, I've lost 11 pounds in my first month. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

@charlescoyle i did too. I finally pulled the trigger some weeks back. I kept a bottle of benadryl or antihistamines near. But your best bet would be an epi pen. I survived . That being said.

@quicksilver80 See this the part that concerns me. I mean having an epi pen wtaf? Did you have one? I could obtain one I suppose, but gee whiz that's a lot to take in. Benadryl is doable, but I sure as heck don't want to have to go to the ER. Maybe I'm just over thinking it idk. As an aside, I'm not allergic to any kind of medicine, idk if that's relevant or not just throwing it out. Thiughts?

@charlescoyle epipen is always good to have in an aid kit but not necessary. At one time I was running three stack. That totaled 8-9 Peps and nothing. I did use benadryl on my first reta since I had a site reaction. You will be fine. Start low and titrate up and find your sweet spot. Find the lowest most effective dose. That goes with all research peps. *Test the water before you dive in.

@EXTROPIAN Thank you for your reply and that's what I plan on doing. I want to add the tesa because the reta has wrecked my sleeping as well as the obvious reasons too. Will do on the Benadryl, that's sound advice. I've learned a lot from here. Thanks again

Second, I’d agree with your assessment wrt your metabolism. My friend just restarted the MOTS-C/SS-31/NAD+ protocol and said he feels much more energized than the first time he ran it. Though, he is researching a higher dosing protocol than what you listed.

@charlescoyle I don’t mean to quibble, but side effects and adverse reactions aren’t quite the same thing. Some, maybe a lot of people, have ISR’s and histamine reactions to MOTS-C, which is why it’s recommended to titrate up slowly from 200mcg to see if it bothers you. I have not had a reaction to it at all so far.
SS-31 and MOTS-C work synergistically, so if you have been researching SS-31, the MOTS-C should be more effective (which doesn’t have anything to do with whether you have a reaction to it.)
Happy researching!

@ResearchCat my energy has been stable since my first cycle. I ran another one just to see if it levels up. You know, I am also doing intranasal adamax, selank and celebrolysin. A few minutes after dosing motsc, nad and ss31. I feel it in my head with a light face flush that never happened before. Maybe it is going straight to my head. lol

@ResearchCat Thank you for your reply, yes, I should have been clearer. For instance, one side effect of my research with Reta is with my sleep. I'm hoping that along with the many other benefits of researching Tesa will be better sleep. I have not had any adverse reactions from any compound, Reta Tirz, or SS-31. I'm about to add AOD-9604 to my list as well. I plan to research SS-31 for a month and then add the MOTSc. I really like this forum as it is so informative and educational and always in a respectful manner. Thanks again

@Cancun_coach This is in from Dr.William Seeds Peptide Protocol Volume 1. (see below)
I had consultations with a doctor from Yale Medicine with a PHD in peptides and he recomends the conceptual protocol as listed here by Dr. Seeds. But you can start lower than 5 mg to test your tolerance and work up to 5mg or beyone depending on your age and if it is necessary, the older you are the more effecatious this peptide seems to be, is the observations by these doctors. The higher doses provide increased signalling as there has been greater depletion of MOTS-C with age is the thought process. The recomendation against daiy is due to the 48 hour downstream kaskade of effects from the peptide and also allows clearance and calming of the mast cells and histamine response deminishing the chances of an over active immune reaction to the peptide. I even find a two day gap between doses at a little higher bolus to be really effective for my Reaserch. ie) 6-7.5 twice a week vs 5 mg 3x per week. for Context I'm 51 year old male healthy. But i worked up to those numbers of course over the years to find my sweet spot and dosing protocols.

my rat is ding 1mg per dose, 3xweek. Effect on endurance is very noticable, as in, being able to run longer and easier at higher heart rate zones (4 and 5). So i see no need yet to increase to 2mg per injection, mots-c is not that cheap after all (relatively speaking).

@eurouser Interesting I was doing 2mg a day and getting a nice ISR but dealt with it. I have had noticeable physical fitness results running. My sprint times have gotten noticeably better. I just switched yesterday to saline BAC, and it made a massive difference in my last two shots no ISR at all. A little itchy feeling for a couple of minutes but thats it. I am thinking about reducing it to 1mg a day. I can't see taking 4-5mg at one time

@Stevepep what exact differences did you notice with sprinting? i'm really interested in that as i am planning on getting back to sprinting once i lose the remaining 20lbs.
One thing that helped my rat with ISR btw was to wait a second after every 2 clicks. Say total pin dosage is 10 units, he would pause 5 times. It made ISR almost completely gone (only using normal BAC water)

@eurouser Its an interesting thing I am associating with the Stack of SS31, NAD and Mots. I was running 4 miles at about 7:30 per mile without a sprint at the end. I do this 4x per week and lift heavy the other 3 days. I am now running 7:12 minute miles for 3 miles and sprint the last mile and I am getting just over a 6 minute mile on that last mile. When I do this on the treadm1ll I am running 3 miles at 8.5 to 9 and then last at 12. Its pretty crazy. I am in my mid 50's. I literally never had the energy to even think about sprinting at the end. One other thing I added was branched cyclic dextrin. @bfuller turned me on to it for high stress workouts. I think it has helped a lot as well. I feel fully recovered after I workout and I had high Estrogen in my monthly bloodwork, which is an indicator of lack of recovery. My estrogen levels are now Optimum.
In terms of sprinting I run 1/4miles on the treadmill at 15 which takes a minute and then walk for one minutes and do it again. 4x. I typically do this once a week after lifting. This is excellent heart exercise, with peaks and valleys.
