MOTS-c Reconstitution Calculator
The numbers below are pre-computed for a 10 mg vial of MOTS-c. Doses reported in the literature and in research protocols for MOTS-c sit around 5–10 mg, subcutaneous. Pep-Tidy does the arithmetic only — it is not medical or dosing advice.
How much water to add to a 10 mg MOTS-c vial
| Bacteriostatic water | Concentration | Per U-100 unit | Units for 5 mg |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 mL | 10 mg/mL | 100 mcg | 50 units |
| 2 mL | 5 mg/mL | 50 mcg | 100 units |
| 3 mL | 3.33 mg/mL | 33.3 mcg | over syringe capacity |
| 5 mL | 2 mg/mL | 20 mcg | over syringe capacity |
MOTS-c units to draw at 2 mL
Reading a 10 mg vial reconstituted with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water on a U-100 insulin syringe.
| Dose | Volume | U-100 units | Doses per vial |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.5 mg | 0.5 mL | 50 units | 4 |
| 5 mg | 1 mL | 100 units | 2 |
| 7.5 mg | 1.5 mL | over syringe capacity | 1 |
| 10 mg | 2 mL | over syringe capacity | 1 |
Mixing and storage notes
- Aim the water down the inside wall of the vial, never straight onto the powder, and let it dissolve without shaking.
- Keep lyophilized vials at 2–8 °C and out of light; reconstituted vials are refrigerated and commonly discarded after about 28 days.

MOTS-c reconstitution questions
How do you reconstitute MOTS-c?
A common starting point for a 10 mg vial of MOTS-c is 2 mL of bacteriostatic water, which gives 5 mg per mL. Aim the water down the inside wall of the vial, let it dissolve on its own, and roll gently instead of shaking. Pep-Tidy's reconstitution calculator will recalculate the numbers for any other vial size or water volume you use.
How many units of MOTS-c is one dose?
At 5 mg per mL, that works out to about 100 units on a U-100 insulin syringe for a 5000 mcg dose. Change the vial size, water volume, or target dose in the calculator and the syringe reading updates with it. This is arithmetic, not a dosing recommendation.
What dosing schedule is reported for MOTS-c?
Published and community sources describe 5–10 mg, subcutaneous, every 5 days, typically run 4 weeks on and 4 weeks off. These figures describe what has been reported, not what anyone should take — talk to a licensed clinician first.
How should MOTS-c be stored?
Lyophilized MOTS-c vials are generally kept at 2–8 °C and out of light. Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water they are refrigerated and commonly discarded after about 28 days. Never re-freeze a reconstituted vial and never shake it.
