MOTS-c Reconstitution Calculator

Use this free MOTS-c reconstitution calculator to work out your solution strength, translate your chosen dosage into U-100 insulin syringe units (100 units = 1 mL), and read off the exact draw for the BAC water and vial size you’re using—whether you’re planning in mcg or mg. Built around U-100 markings so the numbers match what you see on the barrel.

How to Use the MOTS-c Calculator

Use this MOTS-c calculator to find concentration after reconstitution (as mg/mL or mcg/mL) and convert your target dosage in mg or mcg into the correct U-100 insulin syringe units and mL to draw.

Step 1: Choose Your Syringe Size

Pick the U-100 insulin syringe size you have. On U-100, 100 units = 1.0 mL (so each unit is 0.01 mL).

Step 2: Select the Vial Amount

Choose the MOTS-c amount in the vial in milligrams (mg)—for example 5 mg or 10 mg—or use Other for a custom mg value.

Step 3: Enter Water Added

Enter how much bacteriostatic water you added, in milliliters (mL). That volume sets your final mg/mL (and therefore mcg/mL) concentration.

Step 4: Choose Your Dose

Select your desired amount per draw in mg or mcg. The calculator reports concentration, mcg per U-100 unit, and the exact draw in units and mL.

Tip: Using less bacteriostatic water (fewer mL) raises concentration (more mg per mL), so the same mg or mcg dose requires fewer syringe units—and more water does the opposite.

What is MOTS-c?

MOTS-c (mitochondrial open reading frame of the 12S rRNA type-c) is a short, mitochondria-associated signaling peptide that is frequently discussed in research around metabolic regulation, exercise physiology, and cellular energy pathways—separate from GLP-1–class medications.

Like many research peptides, MOTS-c is commonly supplied as a lyophilized powder and is typically reconstituted with bacteriostatic water so the solution can be drawn and measured consistently with an insulin syringe.

After mixing, people often need to translate a planned MOTS-c dosage in mg or mcg into the matching number of U-100 insulin syringe units (where 100 units = 1.0 mL). That math depends on:

  • The labeled peptide mass in the vial (for example, 5 mg or 10 mg)
  • How much bacteriostatic water you add
  • The amount you intend to draw for each injection

The MOTS-c dosage calculator on this page handles those unit conversions for you—showing concentration, how much active ingredient each “unit” represents on a U-100 scale, and the precise draw in units and mL.

How to Use the MOTS-c Calculator

Use this MOTS-c calculator to find your post-reconstitution concentration and turn your planned dosage (mg or mcg) into the exact U-100 insulin syringe units and milliliters to pull.

Step 1: Choose Your Syringe Size

Pick the U-100 insulin syringe you’re using. On U-100 barrels, 100 units = 1.0 mL, so “units” and volume stay locked together.

Step 2: Select the Vial Amount

Enter the MOTS-c mass on the label (commonly 5 mg or 10 mg), or use Other if your vial size differs.

Step 3: Enter Water Added

Input how much bacteriostatic water you added. That volume sets your final mg/mL (or mcg/mL) concentration.

Step 4: Choose Your Dose

Set your target amount in mg or mcg. The tool updates concentration, mass per insulin “unit,” and the precise draw in units and mL.

Tip: Less bacteriostatic water means a stronger mixture—so the same mass dose shows up as a shorter draw (fewer units). More water does the opposite, which can make very small microgram targets easier to read on U-100 markings.

MOTS-c Calculator FAQs

I’m new to this—what do I actually need to plug in for MOTS-c?
Three everyday details: what your vial says in mg (for example 5 mg or 10 mg), how much bacteriostatic water you mixed in (in mL), and the dosage you’re trying to draw—either in mg or mcg. Those three pieces are what turn “powder + water” into “pull the syringe to this many units.”
If I flip between mg and mcg, am I changing my dose?
No. You’re just reading the same amount two ways—1 mg = 1,000 mcg. Switching units helps people who think in micrograms vs milligrams, but the liquid you pull should stay the same as long as the number truly represents the same amount of MOTS-c.
Why do I pull more “units” when I add more bacteriostatic water?
More water stretches the same MOTS-c across a bigger volume, so each little tick on a U-100 syringe represents less peptide. For the same dosage, you need a longer pull—that shows up as more units (and more mL). Less water does the opposite: stronger mix, shorter pull.
My vial isn’t exactly 5 mg or 10 mg—what should I pick?
Use the button that matches your label if it’s close. If your vial is a different strength, tap Other and type the exact mg from the vial. Getting that number right is what makes the “how many units do I draw?” answer trustworthy after you reconstitute.
What does U-100 mean on an insulin syringe (in plain English)?
U-100 is the common insulin marking where 100 units = 1.0 mL. Think of it like a ruler: 10 units = 0.10 mL, 30 units = 0.30 mL. This calculator lines up with those markings so you’re not guessing how “units” translate to liquid volume.
Does this calculator tell me what MOTS-c dosage I should use?
No. It’s here to help you reconstitute consistently and understand how many syringe units match the dosage you already chose (or were instructed to use). If you’re unsure what dosage is appropriate for you, that’s a conversation for a qualified medical professional—not a website tool.
