Mots C Effects/Sides

[Scrut123]

Hey everyone,

I’ve started Mots-C 5 days ago.

First day, 1mg IM injection pre workout (fasted) in the morning - felt amazing with great energy and drive.

Since then, I’ve stuck with 1mg and went as high as 1.5mg and have found no energy/endurance benefits. Though, concerningly I have felt dizzy and flat post workout and it hangs around for at least 4-6 hours.

I use intra workout carbs and EAA’s and eat post workout so I couldn’t imagine it’s any blood sugar issue.

I thought I’d ask if anyone has found the same? Bit disappointed that my reactions to it results in dizziness, flatness and fatigue.

I purchased the Mots-C from a verified source from this forum too with their line known to be legit and well reviewed.

Thanks

Hi brother firstly I would go with Mots-C sub Q instead of I.m.
The dizzy flat feeling could be from Mots-C helping with the creation of new mitochondria.
I personally felt a little bit nauseas & tired when I first started taking it.
After a week or so this side effect went away.
So my advice is to stick with it & hopefully the side effects that you are feeling will subside too.

Thanks heaps mate!

I’ll go Sub Q, and give it some more time as you said.

What dosing are you using? I was going to stick with 1mg daily.

I'm using 1mg on training day's only, first thing in the morning & not preworkout specifically.
I've recently stopped taking it as I've been taking it for about 5 weeks so it's time to give it a break for 2-4 weeks before starting it up again.
Along the same lines of Mitochondrial enhancing, I was taking Ss31 alongside the Mots-C at the same dose.
My blood work came back immaculate like a 20 year old just recently & I'm taking quite a bit of other gear like Test & Tren I think that the Mots-C & Ss31 had a lot to do with this.
I'm 50 years old too btw.
I've started following you brother.

Feel free to reach out with anything regarding your training, diet, peds, health you can Dm anytime mate.
Check out my log & latest log entry I've made some pretty good progress in the last 7 weeks

First dose often feels great, then once the metabolic shift kicks in some people feel flat or slightly dizzy post workout for a few hours. Not true hypo, more like glucose utilisation is being pushed harder than expected, especially if training fasted or already running GH / other insulin-sensitivity compounds.

MOTS-C isn’t really an energy compound in the stimulant sense (feels like clean energy no stim) it’s more of a mitochondrial signalling peptide. Sometimes performance feels a bit muted initially while the body adapts to using fuel differently.

I’ve found higher dose doesn’t necessarily improve things either, moderate dose tends to feel more stable.

Running SS-31 alongside helped smooth this out a bit for me since it supports mitochondrial efficiency while MOTS-C is pushing the adaptation signal, Combination feels more productive vs draining.

Things that helped me
• avoid fully fasted dosing
• ensure carbs are consistent pre/intra
• electrolytes + hydration on point
• mitochondrial support nutrients (CoQ10, magnesium etc)

Wouldn’t assume bad product from what you described, Usually settles once timing/dose is dialled in.

@HarleyGuy might be able to add to this

@Scrut123 I would refer you to our megathread and research article on MOTS-c here MOTS-c Peptide: Overview, Dosing and Reviews
Thanks for the tag @G-Merc 80
@Scrut123 This was a good review for your experience with MOTS-c. Everyone reacts differently so you may need to dose it less, or possibly more and knowing that your MOTS-c is legit and dosed accurately you can dial in which dose works best for you. Can you post a touchdown pic of your MOTS-c from our EVO approved source? Feel free to post a pic with your review in our MOTS-c megathread linked above.

welcome to the EVO family @Scrut123 I would get a blood sugar monitor and measure blood sugar for 3 days when you take mots C pre post taking it and post it in our mega thread
https://www.evolutionary.org/forums/threads/mots-c-peptide-overview-dosing-and-reviews.110114/
We can help you track it but I'm going to say its BG levels.

I haven't tried mots-C yet as i simply do not need it. but my gf uses .5-1mg in the AM's and never experienced this.

you can try some other peptides. Maybe you'll have better luck with something like semax

 

[Scrut123]

Thank you everyone for your replies. I’ve now had a good read through the Mots C mega thread too.

I’ll get a picture, it’s by Regenex in the Aus approved section.

Some good info in here. Since my original post, yesterday the dizziness had settled down quite a bit more ( still there ), though the real game changer & what made a huge difference was:

1. Dosing it Sub-Q instead of IM (as suggested above in this thread).

2. Having a scoop of HBCD with my pre workout stim, followed by more HBCD intra with my EAA’s as I had been doing before.

Not sure if I have just adapted to it more, though Sub Q brought about a totally different feel and made the steady energy and endurance quite profound and noticeable.

I do notice that I can’t go too long without food (3ish hours) otherwise my blood sugars do feel like they fall off a cliff with classic hypo sides.

I’ll keep going with the 1mg upon waking SubQ with the carbs around training.

Hopefully it’s turned a corner and can get a bit out of it now!

 

[Demon_throne]

I've been running 2mg daily for almost 3 months now absolutly no sides.

I take it fasted first thing in the morning and I'm increasing to 4mg as a trial for the month.

 

[Mobster]

The guys have you covered.

 

[ceo]

bros sometimes peptides can make people dizzy. I don't know why but that's one of the side effects

do you get the same way on other peptides? Not sure if you mentioned that. It could be something in the product itself. Maybe try a different brand.

This is great feedback @Scrut123 I'd start up a log for yourself and I'll put you in our MOTS-c megathread!

Bumped to 4mg for the month to test it out will let you know if I notice anything different

Yeah bro mots c actually hits hardest when your mitochondria are a bit cooked.

If your cells are inefficient you’re basically running on a dirty engine… poor energy output, average glucose handling, higher fatigue, that flat feeling that just hangs around.

Mots c comes in and kind of forces the body to wake up. It improves insulin sensitivity so nutrients are actually getting pushed into muscle where you want them instead of floating around, and over time it helps clean up and replace those weaker mitochondria.
You also tend to shift toward using fuel more efficiently, so fat oxidation improves and energy output becomes more stable.

Only thing to be aware of is early on you can feel a bit flat or slightly more fatigued. That’s just the stress signal it creates while your body adapts. Once you get past that phase most guys notice endurance comes up, recovery feels smoother and overall energy is a lot more consistent.

Big picture it’s not a stim and it’s not something you feel instantly. It’s more like tools to help fix the engine so everything else you’re doing actually works better.

Still gotta have food, sleep and training in place though… otherwise it’s just throwing better tools at a system that isn’t set up properly.

@Thoranosaurus_flex and @G-Merc 80 made really important points that i have added onto here.

Too much we see people seduced and attracted to compounds/peptides because they feel it the answer to an inefficient running engine.

They arent.

They're enhancements and upregulators, and if the engine isnt already in a healthy state then all we are doing is creating more stress.

Create a healthy and strong functioning athlete before you try to enhance it and a maximum level.

Foundations first.

Nutrition
Training
Recovery

If these 3 arent being nailed with overall consistency then what most find is these compounds end up being counter productive.

I haven’t personally used it. Looks like the guys gave you a lot of good info though.

ive never felt or went through that and i ran it for a few months no breaks, not sure what could be the issue.
