About MOTS-c
MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid peptide made by your mitochondria, the energy engines in your cells. Your body releases more of it when you exercise, and levels naturally fall with age.
It activates AMPK, your cells' energy sensor, which helps muscle take up glucose. Researchers study it as an exercise mimetic for that reason.
Is this safe?
MOTS-c is prescribed only after a licensed provider reviews your intake, and every pen is prepared by a LegitScript-certified US pharmacy.
Be clear-eyed about the science: MOTS-c research comes from cell, animal, and observational studies, and trials of administered MOTS-c in people have not been completed. MOTS-c is not FDA-approved.
- Tell your provider if you have diabetes or take glucose-lowering medication
- The most common side effect is mild redness or irritation at the injection site
- Not for use if you're pregnant, nursing, or being treated for cancer
- MOTS-c is on the WADA prohibited list. Skip it if you're tested in competitive sport

How is this pen different from vials and syringes?
Instead of mixing vials and drawing doses with separate syringes, the injector pen is pre-loaded and simple. Dial your dose and inject. No measuring, no mixing.
How do I use the injector pen?
Attach a new micro-needle, dial the dose your provider prescribes, and press to inject just under the skin of your belly or thigh. Step-by-step instructions are in our Pen Guide.
Where do I inject?
Inject into the subcutaneous layer, just under the skin. Recommended areas: lower abdomen (2+ inches from your navel), upper glute, or outer thigh. Rotate sites to avoid irritation.
How often should I inject?
Your provider sets your dose and schedule based on your intake.
Do I need a prescription?
Yes. This is a compounded prescription product. Complete a short intake form after purchase and a licensed provider reviews it online.
Does it hurt?
Most people describe a quick click or pinch. The ultra-fine micro-needle is designed for comfortable delivery.
How do I store my pen?
Keep your pen cool in the refrigerator. Use it within 30 days of your first injection.
What if I have more questions or want to stop?
