MOTS-c Injectable
$179.00
Initial charge of $34 for consult, price of medication(s) charged upon consult approval.
Mitochondria-focused peptide support designed to help you feel and perform younger—supporting energy, body composition, and healthy aging under the guidance of a Wellcore provider.
MOTS-c is a mitochondria-derived peptide (MDP) that your body naturally produces in small amounts. In the longevity and performance space, it’s used for its potential to support:
- Metabolic flexibility and glucose handling
- Exercise capacity and training resilience
- Healthy body-composition trends
- Cellular and tissue-level stress resistance
As an injectable therapy, MOTS-c is designed to support how your cells produce and use energy, not just how you feel in the moment. It’s positioned as one tool in a broader longevity and performance program that still prioritizes nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress-management as the foundation.
MOTS-c Injectable is a prescription-only treatment available through Wellcore after a comprehensive clinical evaluation.
Important Note: Compounded MOTS-c is prepared by licensed U.S. compounding pharmacies and is not reviewed or approved by the FDA. Your Wellcore provider will determine if MOTS-c is appropriate for you based on your health history, goals, and current guidelines.
MOTS-c is often described as a metabolic signal that originates from the mitochondria—the “powerhouses” of your cells. It appears, in emerging research, to interact with pathways involved in energy production, exercise response, and cellular stress tolerance.
While human data are still evolving, MOTS-c is being explored for its potential to:
- Support AMPK and related pathways, which play a role in energy balance and glucose utilization
- Encourage healthier response to exercise and training stress
- Support metabolic flexibility, helping the body switch between fuel sources more efficiently
- Contribute to healthy aging by supporting how cells respond to stressors over time
In a Wellcore protocol, MOTS-c is used as part of a stacked approach:
- Training and movement (strength, conditioning, or hybrid)
- Nutrition and recovery strategies
- Other targeted therapies (e.g., NAD+ programs, peptides, hormone optimization when indicated)
Your provider will explain how MOTS-c fits within your overall performance and longevity strategy.
Rather than chasing quick, stimulant-based “energy,” MOTS-c is oriented around deeper cellular and metabolic support.
Mitochondria-focused longevity tool
- Supports how your cells produce and manage energy, instead of relying on short-lived highs
- Positioned to complement programs focused on metabolic health, body composition, and performance aging
- Fits naturally within Strength & Performance, Longevity & Vitality, and Skin Health & Renewal strategies
Clinician-guided protocol
- Available only after a telehealth evaluation with a licensed provider
- Dose, timing, and cycle length are personalized to your health status and goals
- Designed to work alongside your training, nutrition, and sleep plan—not against it
Quality and transparency
- Compounded by U.S.-licensed 503A pharmacies, where permitted
- Emphasis on clear education and informed consent for emerging therapies
- Access to Wellcore’s clinical support team for ongoing questions and adjustments
MOTS-c is built for high-intent adults who care about how they feel, perform, and age over the long term—not just today’s workout.
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Are focused on metabolic health, performance, or healthy aging
- Train consistently and want better energy, resilience, and recovery support
- Care about metrics like glucose, body composition, HRV, and stamina
- Are already investing in nutrition, training, sleep, and stress-management
- Are comfortable using an emerging, experimental peptide as part of a structured program
MOTS-c may not be right for you if you:
- Want a quick, stimulant-style energy boost without lifestyle changes
- Prefer to use only long-established, FDA-approved medications
- Have medical conditions that make peptide or metabolic therapies unsafe
Final eligibility is always determined by a Wellcore provider after a full review of your history, medications, and goals.
Your provider will prescribe a specific dose, frequency, and cycle length tailored to your profile and goals.
Typical guidance may include:
- Route: Subcutaneous injection (just under the skin), usually in the abdomen or thigh
- Frequency: Used on a regular schedule (for example, several times per week or in defined cycles), as directed
- Timing: Often taken at consistent times of day; some protocols may align dosing with training blocks or recovery windows
- Cycles: Typically used in time-bounded cycles (e.g., a number of weeks “on,” followed by a break and reevaluation)
- Site rotation: Rotate injection sites to minimize local irritation
You’ll receive clear written instructions for:
- Drawing up and administering your dose
- Storing and handling your vials and supplies
- Integrating injections into your daily routine and training schedule
Never change your dose, schedule, or cycle plan without speaking to your provider.
MOTS-c Injectable Package
- Multi-dose vial(s) of compounded MOTS-c at your prescribed concentration
- Syringes and injection needles appropriate for subcutaneous administration
- Alcohol swabs and basic injection supplies
- Simple, step-by-step instructions for dosing, administration, storage, and disposal
- Cold-packed, discreet shipping delivered directly to your home where permitted
- Access to the Wellcore clinical support team for ongoing guidance and protocol refinement
Specific vial strength, volume, and refill cadence will depend on your prescription and pharmacy partner.

Is MOTS-c the same as a pre-workout or stimulant?
No. MOTS-c is not a stimulant. It’s a mitochondria-derived peptide used in the longevity and performance world to support deeper energy and metabolic pathways. The goal is not a short-lived rush, but a more sustainable, cellular-level support when combined with training, nutrition, and sleep.
Will MOTS-c help with weight loss?
MOTS-c is not positioned as a classic “weight-loss drug.” Its role is more about metabolic efficiency, training response, and long-term healthspan. Changes in body composition may occur as part of a well-designed program that includes nutrition, movement, and other therapies, but this should not be viewed as its sole or primary purpose.
Can I combine MOTS-c with GLP-1s, NAD+, or other peptides?
Often, yes—when designed and monitored by a provider. MOTS-c is commonly considered as part of longevity, metabolic, and performance stacks that can also include:
- GLP-1–based therapies
- NAD+ or mitochondrial support programs
- Strength & performance peptides (e.g., CJC-1295/Ipamorelin)
Your Wellcore provider will look at your entire stack and design a safe, coherent protocol.
How soon might I notice changes?
Experiences vary. Some people notice shifts in training stamina, recovery, or day-to-day steadiness over several weeks. Others focus on longer-term trends in metrics like glucose, body composition, and HRV. MOTS-c is a long-game tool, not a “feel it in one day” therapy.
Is MOTS-c FDA-approved?
No. MOTS-c is not FDA-approved for any indication. In a clinical context, it is provided as a compounded medication prepared by U.S.-licensed 503A compounding pharmacies for individual patients under a provider’s prescription. Your provider will discuss what is known, what is emerging, and what remains experimental as part of informed consent.
Do Not Use This Medication If You:
- Have a known allergy or hypersensitivity to MOTS-c or any component of the formulation
- Are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding
- Have been clearly advised that peptide or experimental metabolic therapies are not appropriate for you
Use With Caution If You:
- Have a history of cancer, especially where growth, metabolism, or stress-response pathways are a concern
- Have significant cardiovascular, liver, kidney, or autoimmune disease
- Have complex metabolic conditions, including poorly controlled diabetes, without close provider oversight
