MOTS-C protocol & vial guide
Mitochondrial-derived peptide MOTS-c
MOTS-c is a mitochondrially encoded research peptide investigated in cell and mouse metabolic-stress models. Peak lists distinct 10 mg and 20 mg vials; the 10 mg image must not be used for the 20 mg option.

A vial size describes labelled content, not a dose. The example volume above is arithmetic context only; it is not a verified diluent choice or preparation instruction for a supplier product.

Vial amount and pack total describe product identity, not a dose. Each artwork is an exact-match Peak product photo.
Primary research page: 10 mg. An alternate strength is stocked separately; do not reuse dilution arithmetic or vial artwork across strengths.
Reported schedule and evidence context
The rows below come from the site's previously catalogued research summary. They have not been established as a validated clinical schedule for this formulation. Route, amount, escalation and timing may differ across published experiments; do not use the rows as instructions for human or animal administration.
No validated human schedule is available for this compound. The published preclinical experiment must not be converted into personal administration directions.
For research-only formulations, a separate licensed medicine or study does not validate a human regimen for the supplier vial. Clinical decisions require a qualified professional and the correct licensed product.
Preparation: what to verify first
There is no single diluent, mixing method or storage period suitable for every peptide. Follow the exact formulation's qualified instructions instead of applying this chart to a different vial.
Confirm vial identity
Check the compound, labelled quantity, lot, seal, expiry and certificate or insert before planning any calculation.
Check the specified diluent
Use only the formulation-specific diluent and volume supported by the product instructions. Bacteriostatic water is not universally compatible.
Check the resulting solution
Use the labelled mixing and inspection method. Stop if an intended clear solution is cloudy, particulate, discoloured or otherwise abnormal.
Document and store
Record the product, volume and date, then use its validated storage and discard period. Do not infer a universal shelf life.
Concentration and volume calculator
Keep mass and volume separate
Concentration = labelled mass ÷ final liquid volume. A U-100 marking measures liquid volume (100 markings = 1 mL), not a peptide amount or an International Unit of activity.
The calculator checks arithmetic. It does not select a dose, establish compatibility or validate a research product for injection.
Evidence, handling and limitations
Research mechanism
In test subjects, MOTS-c activates AMPK signalling and influences metabolic homeostasis, glucose utilisation and the folate-methionine pathway.
Handling and storage
Storage temperature, light protection, diluent compatibility and discard period must be confirmed for the precise formulation and lot. Do not carry a shelf life from an approved pen or another compound to a research vial.
MOTS-c is not an approved medication; sold for research purposes only. No clinical benefit or safety claim is implied for research-only material.
Research suppliers and product identity
Open the specific product page to confirm current vial strength, formulation, batch documentation and legal use category. A supplier listing does not make a research reagent an approved medicine.
