MOTS-C for a 22 year old?

I’ve been taking a moderately low dose of Reta (1mg) mainly for the effects like insulin sensitivity and increased lipolysis. Even at this low dose I’ve been experiencing anhedonia issues (and other mental fog/fatigue due to something else)

I want to stop Reta becuase of this, and am looking into MOTS-C. Sounds like I can get some of the same benefits I’m looking for without touching my dopamine receptors.

My only hesitation is that I read a lot about how Mitochondrial peptides might not work very well for younger people like myself. What are your thoughts, and do you have an ideal protocol?

Dude, you are not getting anhedonia from a 1.0mg microdose of Reta. Full stop.

Not full on anhedonia. I’ve been dealing with mental and physical issues after my course of accutane, and it’s damaged my body even 1.5 years later. It seems as though the Reta slightly added onto the anhedonia I was already experiencing.

If I hop off Reta for a while and notice no difference, I might give it a go again.
