MOTS-c Dosage Calculator
Reconstitution volumes, concentration and U-100 unit equivalents for MOTS-c.
These examples explain unit relationships in published research and are not instructions for preparing, measuring or administering any compound. Do not use this information to self-administer research chemicals.
Worked at 5.00 mg, the amount reported in the research for MOTS-c. Every row is the same arithmetic: milligrams in the vial divided by millilitres of water gives the concentration, and the target amount divided by that concentration gives the volume.

List prices, checked September 4, 2026. Sale pricing is ignored on purpose so the table does not swing week to week. Verify before ordering.
Suppliers are listed alphabetically. We do not rank them by price, because the cheapest vial and the one worth buying are rarely the same thing. The column that matters is the last one, and today most of it reads "none on file", including for Quartz Peptides, which is owned by this site’s editor. See the disclosure and the COA guide.
How strong is the evidence for MOTS-c?
We grade it D on a four-point scale. Human trial data is very limited, so benefits in people are not established.
What is the half-life of MOTS-c?
It is not well characterized in humans. Published pharmacokinetic data for MOTS-c is thin, so any specific figure you see quoted should be treated with caution.
What amount of MOTS-c is used in the research?
Ongoing: 5–10 mg per week, split across doses. No human dosing is established; this reflects common research reference practice only.
How much does MOTS-c cost?
A 10 mg vial lists at $63 from Quartz Peptides, which works out to $6.30 per mg and about $23.63 per dose at the amount used in research. Prices checked September 4, 2026. Price is not a quality signal, so check the certificate of analysis before ordering from anyone.
How is MOTS-c stored once reconstituted?
Refrigerate the mixed vial at 2 to 8 °C, use within a few weeks and avoid freeze and thaw.
