MOTS-c reconstitution calculator
Reconstitution calculator for MOTS-c, prefilled for its 5 and 10 mg vials. Get the concentration, the dose volume and the U-100 syringe reading.
Start from a compound
Fills the vial size and a starting water volume. Only compounds with a citable range fill a dose.
The second is the question asked once the syringe is already filled, or when checking a vial someone else reconstituted.
1 mg = 1,000 mcg. Published figures are usually micrograms; vial labels are milligrams.

More than a 100-unit syringe holds — this needs more than one draw, or less water in the vial.
MOTS-c — Animal data only — no human dosing study
Extrapolated from animal studies. No human dosing study exists for this compound, so this range is an inference, not a finding. The prefilled dose is the low end of that range, 2-3x per week, over a 4-8 week cycle.
Vial size and water volume are a starting point for the arithmetic, not a recommendation.
Adding more water makes the same dose a larger, easier-to-read mark on the syringe. It does not change how many doses the vial holds.
Vial sizes and starting volume
MOTS-c is commonly supplied in 5 mg and 10 mg vials. The calculator opens on a 5 mg vial with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water — a starting point for the arithmetic, not a recommendation. Change either and everything recalculates.
That combination gives 2.5 mg/mL, so one insulin unit holds 25 mcg and a 5000 mcg dose is 200 units.
What dose to enter
A range of 5000–10000 mcg per dose can be cited for MOTS-c, 2-3x per week, over a 4-8 week cycle. The dose field opens at the low end of it.
Animal data only — no human dosing study
Extrapolated from animal studies. No human dosing study exists for this compound, so this range is an inference, not a finding.
- Central and peripheral mechanism of MOTS-c attenuates pain hypersensitivity in a mice model of inflammatory pain. — Preclinical mouse study. Mouse model study establishing an analgesic mechanism for MOTS-c; it does not establish the human dosing schedule above, which reflects reported practice rather than a study finding.
