Can MOTS-c cause headaches?

This site's MOTS-c studies do not measure headache. The evidence in people on this site only watched people: blood levels, a mitochondrial gene variant in 27,527 people, and a rise in the body's own MOTS-c with exercise. There is also a mid-stage study still signing people up (NCT07505745). Nobody on this site has yet published a study of giving MOTS-c to a person as a finished drug. So there is no side-effect table from such a study to quote. This FAQ does not invent a headache rate from blood level studies.
