Where Should I Inject MOTS-C?
Injection Site
MOTS-C is injected subcutaneously into the abdomen. Subcutaneous means the injection goes into the fatty layer just beneath the skin.
For comfort and skin health, rotate the exact injection spot slightly each time rather than using the same point repeatedly.
What to Avoid
- Avoid injecting into areas that are bruised, irritated, or broken
- If you are unsure about your technique or site, contact your care team before your first injection
