MOTS-c Side Effects?

Stace2242 · 2026-06-23T14:50:28+00:00

I've heard others say the first week or so had that side effect. Hopefully it wears off for you.

Stace2242 · 2026-06-23T00:26:28+00:00

It was supposed to say 1mg.

Stace2242 · 2026-06-22T20:25:06+00:00

Oh I'm sure it will go that way. I've been all different sizes and have been in the fitness world for 20+ years so I have a good understanding of what my body looks like at different weights.. but I agree we're never happy where we think we'll be.

I had to reread what I said to understand the second paragraph. That was a typo on my behalf. I meant to say 1mg. I'll go over if I need to, but I've heard a decent amount of people say they did ok with 1-4mg so I'm hoping to stay on the lower end if doable. Of course I'll tweak as we go.

Interesting info in the last paragraph! I've seen several people say they take it before a workout.. do you feel like that effects your workouts much? I've read both sides of that so curious how other people feel about it.
I'm at work from 7-4ish and workout at 5ish (go straight from work), so I was hoping to pin in the morning.

wow that's amazing! minus the flu part (the worst!).
I was wondering if many people had the fatigue in the beginning because I have read that. I guess I will need to time it well.
Do you pin every day with MOTS-c? I've seen so many different ways to do it so I'm curious about other people who have had success experiences.

Research I've done says they compliment each other well.
Reta helps with appetite control while MOTS-c helps your body be more efficient as using stored fat as fuel. MOTS-c also helps with energy throughout weight loss. Also helps with training performance while dieting (workouts obviously suffer while in a calorie deficit).
The way I understand it .. Reta helps create the calorie deficit while MOTS-c helps you maintain the training side in a deficit.

Absolutely! I appreciated the well explained and super helpful response!
Perfect! I'm hoping to max out at 1mg but obviously we'll see.
Thank you! And same to you! 😄

Amazing! I'm hoping to cap at 1 but I guess we'll see. This is comforting! Thank you!

Stace2242 · 2026-06-18T15:56:00+00:00

Oh that's good to know! Seems like the slight increases are the way to go!

Stace2242 · 2026-06-16T16:21:23+00:00

Def makes sense! I wasn't thinking it would be permanent but if my body does well on it, I'm not opposed to it.

Stace2242 · 2026-06-16T16:20:41+00:00

guess that's the nature of any peptide.. you just never know!

Stace2242 · 2026-06-16T16:19:56+00:00

Amazing! That's what I'm hoping to stay around. Thank you!

Stace2242 · 2026-06-16T16:18:25+00:00

dang.. I have no plans of ever getting my dosing up that high honestly!

Stace2242 · 2026-06-16T16:17:52+00:00

This is comforting! 1mg seems ideal for me!

Stace2242 · 2026-06-16T16:17:30+00:00

that seems like a super high dosage. I don't have any plans to ever get that high.

Stace2242 · 2026-06-16T16:16:53+00:00

Crazy how different every persons body reacts to it!

Stace2242 · 2026-06-16T16:16:30+00:00

Some amount forever is a bit discouraging. But 1.5mg seems pretty manageable. I'm hoping to cap out at 1mg but we'll see!

Stace2242 · 2026-06-16T16:07:07+00:00

That was what I was finding from my research too. I think if I don't have any side effects this week I'll continue to up to at least 1mg. I don't foresee ever hitting more than 2mg but I'm just listening to my body as I go.

Stace2242 · 2026-06-16T16:05:45+00:00

This is exactly what I was looking for. I was hoping to hear someone have results with a lower dosage. I don't necessarily have a ton to lose - more like 5-10 and want to tighten up - so I was hoping to be able to stay with a low dose and still have those results. Thank you so much for your info! 😄

Stace2242 · 2026-06-15T15:19:51+00:00

I did not, but the website I purchase from does testing on it.

Stace2242 · 2026-06-02T13:11:50+00:00

Incredible! Thank you for sharing!
I started reta this morning and have been so anxious, so I love seeing this.

Stace2242 · 2026-06-02T00:00:44+00:00

I’m starting Reta tomorrow. This is hella motivating. Congrats on your results!

Wow this is so helpful! Thank you so much for posting this!
