Mito Boost
Formulation: 2.6 mL pre-filled peptide pen
Clicks per Pen: 240
Total Active Ingredient: 60 mg MOTS-C
Supplied With: 6 sterile needles (additional needles available separately)
Description
Mito Boost Pen contains MOTS-C (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c), a naturally occurring 16-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) encoded within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene. As a mitochondrial signalling peptide, MOTS-C plays an important role in regulating energy metabolism, mitochondrial communication, and cellular resilience.
Chemical Structure
Amino Acid Sequence:
Met-Arg-Trp-Gln-Glu-Met-Gly-Tyr-Ile-Phe-Tyr-Pro-Arg-Lys-Leu-Arg (MRWQEMGYIFYPRKLR)
Molecular Weight: Approximately 2,173 Da
MOTS-C is a linear peptide that contains no disulfide bonds or significant post-translational modifications in its native form.
Mechanism of Action
MOTS-C is produced within the mitochondria before being transported into the cytoplasm and nucleus, where it functions as a signalling molecule between the mitochondria and the cell nucleus.
Its primary biological actions include:
- Activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a key regulator of cellular energy balance
- Stimulation of PGC-1α expression to promote mitochondrial biogenesis
- Enhancement of fatty acid oxidation and glucose utilization
- Improvement of insulin sensitivity through reduced inflammatory signalling
- Protection against oxidative stress and age-related mitochondrial dysfunction
- Regulation of genes involved in metabolism, cellular repair, stress resistance, and protein homeostasis
Through these mechanisms, MOTS-C helps optimize mitochondrial performance, metabolic flexibility, energy production, and overall cellular health.
Indications & Usage
Mito Boost Pen is formulated to support mitochondrial function and metabolic performance. It may be used to assist with:
- Promoting mitochondrial biogenesis and healthy energy production
- Supporting fat metabolism and metabolic efficiency
- Improving insulin sensitivity and glucose utilization
- Enhancing endurance and exercise performance
- Supporting recovery from physical stress and training
- Assisting with age-related declines in mitochondrial function and vitality
Contraindications & Warnings
Do not use if you have:
- Known hypersensitivity to MOTS-C or any formulation ingredient
- Active malignancy
- Severe liver impairment
- Severe kidney disease
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Are under 18 years of age
Warnings
- Use only under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional.
- Periodic monitoring of glucose metabolism, liver function, and general health is recommended.
- This product is not intended to replace established therapies for metabolic disease or healthy lifestyle practices.
- Some individuals may experience temporary gastrointestinal discomfort or fluctuations in energy during early use.
- Discontinue use immediately and seek medical advice if severe abdominal pain, allergic reactions, or unexpected neurological symptoms occur.
Dosage & Administration
Route: Subcutaneous injection only.
Standard Protocol
- 5 mg (22 clicks) per injection
Lower-Dose Protocol
- 3 mg (13 clicks) per injection
- Suitable for maintenance or lower-intensity longevity protocols
Frequency
- 2–3 injections per week
- Typical schedules include Monday/Wednesday/Friday or administration around training and recovery days.
Recommended Timing
- Morning administration or approximately 30–60 minutes before exercise is preferred to support energy production, endurance, and recovery.
Typical Cycle
- 4–12 weeks on
- Followed by approximately 4 weeks off before repeating if appropriate.
Optional Loading Protocol
- Weeks 1–4: 5 mg three times weekly
- Maintenance: Reduce to twice weekly or once weekly thereafter
Administration Instructions
- Wash your hands thoroughly.
- Attach a new sterile needle.
- Dial the prescribed number of clicks (22 clicks delivers approximately 5 mg).
- Clean the injection site (abdomen or thigh) using an alcohol swab.
- Insert the needle at a 45–90° angle and inject slowly.
- Remove and safely dispose of the needle.
- Replace the protective cap.
- Rotate injection sites regularly.
- Inspect the solution before each use. Do not use if the solution appears cloudy, discoloured, or contains visible particles.
Possible Side Effects
MOTS-C has demonstrated a favourable safety profile in preclinical and early clinical research. Reported side effects are generally mild and temporary and may include:
- Mild injection-site redness, irritation, or itching
- Headache or light-headedness
- Temporary fatigue or changes in energy levels during initial use
- Mild nausea or bloating
- Occasional gastrointestinal discomfort
Discontinue use and seek medical attention immediately if severe headache, persistent abdominal pain, allergic reactions, or other significant symptoms develop.
Storage & Handling
- Store refrigerated or in a cool, dry place (≤25–30°C / 77–86°F).
- Do not freeze.
- Keep the pen capped and protected from heat and direct sunlight.
- Continue storing under the same conditions after first use.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Discard if expired or if the solution becomes cloudy, discoloured, or contains visible particles.
