Taking MOTS-C

MOTS-C is given as a subcutaneous (SQ) injection in the abdomen, 5 times per week, Monday through Friday, in the morning.

Preparing Your Injection

Gather your supplies Each MOTS-C shipment includes everything needed for your protocol:

• The MOTS-C peptide (pre-mixed injectable solution)
• Needles (31-gauge insulin syringes)
• Alcohol swabs
• An informational pamphlet

Drawing your dose Using a 31-gauge insulin syringe, draw 20 units from the pre-mixed vial. No mixing or reconstitution is needed.

Storing your vial Keep your vial refrigerated between 35°F and 38°F. Use within the product's 28-day best-use window, and do not expose it to heat or direct sunlight.

Choosing Your Injection Site

Inject into the abdomen. Rotate the exact spot slightly with each injection to avoid irritating the same area repeatedly.

Performing the Injection

1. Wash hands thoroughly
2. Clean the injection site with an alcohol swab; allow to dry
3. Pinch the skin to create a small fold
4. Insert the needle at approximately a 45-degree angle
5. Draw back slightly to confirm you are not in a blood vessel
6. Inject slowly and steadily
7. Withdraw and apply gentle pressure; do not rub
8. Dispose of the used needle in a sharps container
