What It Is

MOTS-c 40 mg

MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid peptide encoded in mitochondrial DNA rather than the nucleus — one of the “mitochondrial-derived peptides” discovered in the last fifteen years. It is studied as a metabolic regulator: it acts on the AMPK pathway that governs how cells use glucose and fat, and levels decline with age and inactivity.

The wellness use is energy, metabolic flexibility and exercise capacity, often alongside NAD+ and 5-Amino-1MQ in our Energy & Metabolic trio. The 40 mg vial replaces the 10 mg size so a real loading protocol fits in one vial. Research peptide, not FDA-approved, offered after clinician screening.

Who It’s For

Is this you?

Guests typically come to MOTS-c 40 mg seeking:

  • Low energy and afternoon crashes despite decent sleep
  • Metabolic goals alongside training or a weight program
  • Wanting the mitochondrial layer of a longevity stack
  • Exercise capacity and recovery in the heat
Two Ways to Buy

Vials only, or the full kit

Vials only
$95 / 40 mg vial

Sealed, COA-verified vial delivered in Tulum. You reconstitute and dose yourself. +$15 delivery, free over $250. A clinician still does a quick screen before we confirm.

Full Start & Continue kit
$180 vial + kit

Bac water, a month of syringes, reconstitution syringes, prep pads, your personalized dosing page with batch certificates, a taught first dose and WhatsApp support. Kit is +$85 once per order, however many vials. Delivery included.

Mixing & dosing, in plain numbers

40 mg + 2 mL bac water = 20 mg/mL, so 5 mg = 25 units.

5 mg subcutaneous twice a week for maintenance, or a short daily loading phase. At twice a week one vial is about a month.

General guidance, not a prescription — your clinician confirms your protocol at screening. Reconstituted vials keep ~4 weeks refrigerated.

Why SEVA

Verified, delivered, taught if you want it

Every vial ships with a Certificate of Analysis you can check against the lab’s own database — identity, content and purity by HPLC and mass spectrometry — and your dosing page carries the batch number that matches the label. Buy the vial alone if you know what you’re doing; add the kit if you want a clinician to teach the first dose. These are investigational peptides, not FDA-approved, offered in a wellness context after individual screening.

Good to Know

Questions, Answered

What is MOTS-c?

A mitochondrial-derived peptide studied as a regulator of cellular energy metabolism via the AMPK pathway. Research peptide, not FDA-approved; offered in a wellness context after clinician screening.

Why 40 mg instead of 10 mg?

Common protocols use 5 mg per dose, so a 10 mg vial is only two doses. The 40 mg vial gives eight doses — a month at twice a week — in one reconstitution.

How do I dose it?

40 mg reconstituted with 2 mL bac water gives 20 mg/mL, so 5 mg is 25 units. Twice a week is the usual maintenance rhythm.

Can I just buy the vial?

Yes. Vials-only is $95 with Tulum delivery ($15, free over $250). The Start & Continue kit adds bac water, syringes, a dosing page and a taught first dose for $85 per order.
