Is MOTS-c IM or subq?

The FDA's 2026 review found no published data in people on the safety of compounded MOTS-c, or on how the body handles it, by any route. So no study compares a shot into muscle with a shot under the skin. Claims about muscle versus under the skin are unverified. This site's calculator and sellers' material for compounds sold to individuals assume a shot under the skin, into fat, not muscle. That is how the market uses it. It is not a finding that a MOTS-c shot reaches the body in a working form. This is not a dose or a protocol. Full walkthrough at /injecting. Profile at /compounds/mots-c.

Educational use only. This database summarizes published research and is not medical advice. Where a dose appears it is a record of what a trial or clinic ran, or what people describe doing, with its source attached. Nothing here is a recommendation for personal use.

Part of injecting: sites, needles and safety. Subcutaneous vs intramuscular, site rotation, lipohypertrophy, needle length and gauge, vial hygiene at injection time, travel syringes, scar tissue, and when to stop and see a clinician. Full walkthrough at /injecting.
