Is MOTS-c IM or subq?

FDA's 2026 review found no published human safety or pharmacokinetic data for compounded MOTS-c by any route, so no trial compares intramuscular against subcutaneous for it. Community IM versus subq claims are unverified. This site's calculator and the vendor material for compounds sold to individuals assume subcutaneous, into fat, not into muscle. That is the market route, not a finding that an injection of MOTS-c reaches the body in an active form. This is not a dose or a protocol. Full walkthrough at /injecting.

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.
