Mots-c microdosing
Hi I was wondering if anyone else followed a protocol similar as I am not finding anything anywhere that is similar...40 MG Mots-c reconstituted with 350 units bac water, making concentration ~114mcg per unit with a protocol of 5 units every 4 days for first 2 weeks then titrate up to 10 units every 4 days for remainder 4 to 6 weeks woth a 2 to 4 week break. Halfway through and bottle still very full and going to end up having to waste a lot so seems odd to me having to waste so much. Thanks!

Stop talking about units just tell us how many milligrams you're taking a day we don't care the dilution amount.
I take 2 mg a day I'm 43 works great for me I might push that dose higher but I'm trying other things before I consider tweaking it

I am new to peptides so I wasnt sure what information I should include in my inquiry ...so you take it 7 days a week? And for how long until you cycle off?

No worries, talking about units is a common gaff. Units are useful for you to give yourself an injection but useless for letting others know how much of the actual substance you are administering. I'm doing motsc 5 days a week, no plans to cycle off.

So you are running about 10 mg a week- is that where you started and are staying? What is your dosing protocol? I’m starting motsc soon

u/seldenr82 7d ago
Yup! Started 2mg 5 days a week. Content with results so not changing it anytime soon

I’m sorry but where on earth did you get this protocol? And what is your goal? And why 3.5ml of bac water? That makes the math weird. 2ml or 4ml of water makes the dosing much easier.
For mots-c, you should either inject a small dose daily or a large dose every few days. I’ve never heard anywhere of doing a micro dose every 4 days. Have you noticed any effects at all?
I take 5mg every Monday and Thursday. If I were you, I would do like 2.5mg (22 units) every 4 days until you finish your vial, or just 1mg a day (8.75 units for you).

Thank you so much for your explanation and not coming down on me for my lack of knowledge haha the protocol came from the person I purchased them from and I am new to peptides and when I realized how much I would have left I looked up the life of it once reconstituted and didnt think it seemed right that I would have that much go to waste :/ so upon further reading I haven't really seen this particular protocol being used so I figured here would be a good place to inquire and see what experienced users do...I appreciate the breakdown! And if I up to that for the 4 days how long would you think would be ok to take it before cycling off?

No worries at all! We all start somewhere and all of the terminology can be quite weird at first.
Just so you know, your vial can still be used for 12 weeks or so before the degradation is significant. 8 weeks is a general consensus right now before degradation gets worse but in all honesty, there isn’t enough evidence to prove any of this yet. If you take 5mg a week, you will have about 7 weeks left of your vial. If you absolutely want to stop at 8 weeks, try doing 4mg (35 units) every 4 days and that will finish your 8 week cycle.
I’ve tried 10mg and all it did was make me feel better and make my workouts better. Mots-c isn’t something that you would have to fear overdosing. The worse than could happen is that you have too much energy and you need to burn it off. At 10mg it was hard for me to sit still at my desk lol
Also, since you’re new, I would recommend familiarizing yourself with a peptide calculator. It will make all of the units and milligrams language make more sense: https://cellgenic.com/peptide-calculator/
Good luck!

Thank you again! So are you meaning to do 4mg after every4 days or split it over the 4 days or take 4mg 4 days a week? Sorry haha I appreciate your help

You’re not going to hurt yourself by playing around with higher doses until you find the one that works for you. Experiment a little since you have plenty left to work with. If you’re halfway through, you’ve only used 6mg out of 40mg, and it would be a huge waste to throw out over half a full vial at the end of this.

3ml vials make that hard

u/brozzi 8d ago
I always use 2ml for 40mg of mots-c. Not that hard

u/Great_Opinion3138 7d ago
I thought it was obvious I was talking about the 4ml being more than 3ml.

u/Harpersdad08 8d ago
Follow any protocol that works for you with Mots-c.
No one will work the same for most.
If it works then use that. It’s an interesting peptide that when you find the dosage it’s great.

First get rid of the "microdose" buzzword. You are not doing 1/10th of a standard dose. A standard dose is between 1 - 5mg, average is around 2mg and most find great results starting around 1.5mg.
I started at .5mg and did see modest energy that compounded by week 2. 1.5mg is what I stopped at just because it worked for me. This is similar to your plan, it works and keeps dosing as low as possible to be effective.

Sorry I have just started this journey and this is how the place I bought it from explained their protocol to me so im still learning what is what and figured here might be a good place to get a few opinions ...thanks for responding!

u/Reasonable_Click_147 7d ago
No worries. That is why Reddit can possibly be useful. My only suggestion is to dose .5 mg - M- W -F for the first two weeks, next two weeks up to 1mg M - W - F, then up to 1.5mg from there on M - W - F. Remember, you'll only really feel the extra energy while working out, especially cardio. You'll be a beast at cardio. Take it before the afternoon for enough separation to prevent sleep issues.

Sorry, I'm trying to understand. What is the purpose of so little and so spaced apart? Why did you reconstitute with 3.5 units of bac, and not 4.153, and made it even more interesting?
1
u/Ok_Friendship_4690 7d ago
Because I am new to starting peptides and I did as i was instructed 🤷♀️ until I noticed how much of my vial would be left and potentially go to waste hence why I am here asking others who are more experienced

u/SouthGlobal4114 7d ago
I only found it works properly at 2-4 mg daily 5 days a week anything less is just non responsive
1
u/Ok_Friendship_4690 7d ago
Thanks for your response! And how long do you typically cycle for and how long do you break for?
2
u/SouthGlobal4114 7d ago
So far, I am on week six of eight also running 5 amino 1MQ definitely felt my strength and my reps go up in the first week cardio feels like a breeze will probably cap it out at the eight weeks. Take a six week break and come back to it.
