Product Name: Mito Boost Pen
Formulation: 2.6 mL pre-filled pen
Clicks per Pen: 240
Total Amount: 60 mg MOTS–C
Supplied with: 6 sterile needles (extras available)
Description
MOTS-C (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c) is a 16–amino–acid mitochondrial–derived peptide (MDP) encoded within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene.
Chemical Structure
- Sequence: Met-Arg-Trp–Gln–Glu–Met–Gly–Tyr–Ile-Phe-Tyr–Pro–Arg–Lys–Leu-Arg (MRWQEMGYIFYPRKLR)
- Molecular weight: ~2,173 Da
- It is a linear peptide with no disulfide bonds or post–translational modifications in its native form.
Mechanism of Action
MOTS-C is transcribed and translated within mitochondria, then exported to the cytoplasm and nucleus where it acts as a retrograde signalling molecule. Its primary mechanism involves:
- Direct activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)
- Increased expression of PGC-1a and downstream mitochondrial biogenesis genes
- Enhanced fatty acid ẞ-oxidation and glucose uptake
- Improvement of insulin sensitivity via reduced inflammatory signalling (↓ NF-kB, ↓ IL-6)
- Protection against metabolic stress, oxidative damage, and age-related mitochondrial decline
- Modulation of nuclear gene expression related to metabolism, proteostasis, and stress resistance
- By acting as a mitokine, MOTS-C coordinates mitochondrial-nuclear communication to optimize energy homeostasis, metabolic flexibility, and cellular resilience.
Indications & Usage
Mito Boost (MOTS-C) is used to support mitochondrial function and metabolic health. It is indicated for:
- Enhancement of mitochondrial biogenesis and energy production
- Support for fat oxidation, insulin sensitivity, and metabolic efficiency
- Assistance during age–related decline in physical performance and recovery
- Promotion of endurance, exercise capacity, and cellular resilience under metabolic stress
Contraindications & Warnings
Do not use if you have:
- Known hypersensitivity to MOTS-C or any excipient
- Active malignancy (theoretical concern regarding cellular metabolism enhancement)
- Severe uncontrolled liver or kidney disease
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Age under 18 years
Warnings
- Use only under medical supervision with periodic monitoring (e.g., glucose metabolism, liver function, clinical parameters).
- Not a substitute for lifestyle interventions or approved therapies for metabolic disorders. High doses may cause transient gastrointestinal discomfort or changes in energy levels.
- Discontinue immediately and seek medical attention if severe symptoms occur (e.g., severe abdominal pain, allergic reaction, or unexpected neurological changes).
Dosage & Administration
- Subcutaneous injection only.
- Standard Dose: 5 mg (22 clicks) per injection
- (delivers exactly 5 mg based on pen calibration)
- Alternative Lower Dose: 3 mg (13 clicks) – for longevity/maintenance or sensitive protocols
- Frequency: 2-3 times per week (e.g., Monday/Wednesday/Friday, or spaced around training/recovery days)
- Timing: Morning or pre-workout to maximize energy, stamina, and recovery support
- Cycle: Typically, 4-12 weeks on, followed by 4 weeks off to maintain efficacy
- Optional Loading Phase: First 2-4 weeks: 5 mg 3×/week, then reduce to 2x/week or once weekly for maintenance
Administration Instructions
- Wash hands and prepare a clean surface.
- Attach a sterile needle.
- Dial the required number of clicks (e.g., 22 clicks = 5 mg).
- Clean injection site (abdomen or thigh) with alcohol swab. 5.Insert needle at 45-90° angle and inject slowly.
- Withdraw needle, dispose safely, and cap the pen.
- Rotate injection sites to minimize irritation.
- Always inspect solution before use: Do not inject if cloudy, discoloured, or containing particles.
Side Effects
MOTS-C is generally well tolerated across preclinical and early human studies. Reported reactions are uncommon and usually mild/transient, including:
- Mild injection-site irritation, redness, or itching
- Transient headache or light–headedness
- Temporary fatigue or changes in energy levels during initial use
- Rare mild gastrointestinal discomfort (nausea, bloating)
- If any severe or persistent symptoms occur (e.g., severe headache, abdominal pain, or allergic signs), discontinue use and contact your healthcare provider immediately.
Storage & Handling
- Store either in refrigerator (fridge); never freeze or in a cool dry place (≤25-30°C / 77-86°F). Keep pen capped and protected from light and heat.
- After first use: Same storage conditions.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Discard if expired or solution appears abnormal.
