Side Effects Overview
The most commonly reported side effects of MOTS-C are mild, local reactions at the injection site.
Injection Site Reactions (Local)
- Transient erythema (redness): A red circle often appears at the injection site, typically lasting 20 to 60 minutes.
- The "sting": Users frequently report a sharp, temporary stinging sensation during the injection.
- Pruritus (itching): Mild itching for an hour post-injection is common as the local tissues absorb the peptide.
Contact your care team if you experience:
- Reactions that do not resolve within a few hours
- Signs of infection at the injection site (increasing redness, warmth, swelling, or discharge)
- Any unexpected symptoms after beginning your protocol
