The Energy & Metabolic Protocol — MOTS-c, NAD+ & 5-Amino-1MQ, In Your Villa

A physician-supervised protocol built around mitochondrial energy, metabolism, body composition and drive — reconstituted, taught and started with you in your Tulum villa, then continued at home. Every guest is screened first.

What It Is

Energy & Metabolic: MOTS-c + NAD+ + 5-Amino-1MQ

The Energy & Metabolic protocol brings together three molecules the longevity world associates with cellular energy. MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide — a short chain of amino acids encoded within the mitochondria themselves — studied for its role in metabolic signalling and the AMPK pathway that governs how cells produce and spend energy. NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme central to cellular energy metabolism and DNA repair that naturally declines with age. 5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule NNMT inhibitor — not a peptide — studied for its effect on the enzyme that regulates NAD+ and methyl-group availability in fat tissue.

Guests choose this protocol for support around everyday energy, metabolism, body composition and drive. It is designed to be run as a structured course, not a one-off injection — which is why we teach you to continue it.

Honesty matters here: MOTS-c and 5-Amino-1MQ are investigational and not approved by the FDA for any use; the human evidence is early and largely preclinical, and NAD+ infusion is popular in wellness settings but is not FDA-approved and is not backed by controlled human trials. We offer them in a wellness and research context, under a licensed physician, only after individual screening. They are not a treatment or cure for any condition.

Who It’s For

Is this you?

This protocol tends to suit guests who are proactive about how they feel and perform, and who want the work to continue after the trip. Guests choose it for goals such as:

  • Support for everyday energy and mitochondrial function
  • A metabolism and body-composition focus, alongside training and nutrition
  • Sharper daily drive and momentum on holiday and beyond
  • A structured, physician-supervised protocol they can learn and self-administer at home
  • Cellular-health-minded travellers building a longer-term routine
Start & Continue

How it works in your villa

Everything begins with a medical screen — a goals consult and optional lab review with a licensed physician, who confirms whether the protocol is appropriate for you before anything is charged. Not everyone is a candidate.

Then a clinician comes to your villa. This is our Start & Continue model: they reconstitute your molecules with you, teach you to draw and dose, and supervise your first injection, so you leave genuinely able to run it yourself rather than guessing from a forum. You go home with a take-home starter kit — vials, bacteriostatic water, syringes and safe sharps disposal — plus a personalised dosing card in plain language, remote follow-up, and seamless re-supply. Offered as a 30-, 60- or 90-day plan; the longer the plan, the better the per-month rate.

Reserve Energy & Metabolic

Reserve in two minutes. Your card is only held — a clinician reviews your details and screens you first; you’re charged only once your protocol is confirmed.

Why SEVA

Taught, not just sold

Most clinics hand you a vial and a shrug. SEVA brings the protocol to your villa, sits with you until you can run it confidently, and stays reachable once you fly home — every molecule third-party lab-verified with a certificate of analysis, every injection given or supervised by a clinician licensed in Mexico, and every guest screened first. It is taught, not just sold.

Good to Know

Questions, Answered

What is MOTS-c?

MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide — a 16-amino-acid chain encoded within the mitochondria — studied for its role in metabolic signalling and the AMPK energy pathway. Most evidence to date is preclinical (animal and cell studies); there are no completed placebo-controlled human trials, and it is investigational and not FDA-approved. We offer it under physician supervision after screening. Start with a screening consult →

What is 5-Amino-1MQ and what does it do?

5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule NNMT inhibitor (not a peptide). NNMT is an enzyme abundant in fat tissue; by inhibiting it, 5-Amino-1MQ is designed to influence NAD+ and methyl-group availability in cells, which is why it is studied in a metabolism and body-composition context. The evidence is currently limited to animal studies, it has no published human efficacy data, and it is not FDA-approved. It is offered here in a wellness and research context under a physician.

Is this protocol safe and legal?

The molecules are administered only under a licensed Mexican physician, after individual screening and consent, using third-party lab-verified product. MOTS-c, 5-Amino-1MQ and NAD+ infusion are not FDA-approved, and we offer them in a wellness and research context — plainly, not as approved drugs. Not everyone is a candidate; your physician screens you first and confirms suitability before anything is charged. This is not a substitute for conventional medical care.

How fast will I feel something?

Responses vary from person to person, and this is a structured course rather than a single dose — which is exactly why it is designed as a 30-, 60- or 90-day plan you continue at home. We can't promise a specific result or timeline; your clinician will set honest expectations at your consult. Ask a clinician →

Can I continue the protocol at home after Tulum?

Yes — that's the point of our Start & Continue model. A clinician teaches you to reconstitute, draw and self-inject in your villa, and you leave with a take-home kit, a personalised dosing card, remote follow-up and re-supply, so the protocol travels with you.

How is this different from the NAD+ or GLP-1 programmes?

The Energy & Metabolic protocol pairs MOTS-c, NAD+ and 5-Amino-1MQ around energy and metabolism. If NAD+ is your sole focus, see our NAD+ Take-Home course; if medically-supervised weight management is your goal, the physician-led GLP-1 Weight & Metabolic Program uses a different, FDA-approved class of molecules. Your screening consult helps match you to the right one.

Seva Vitality provides wellness and optimization services in a private, physician-supervised setting. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease; a health screen applies and not all treatments suit everyone. Peptide and GLP-1 therapies described here are physician-led and, where applicable, not FDA-approved and offered in a wellness & research context under medical supervision.
