MOTS-c Side Effects & Titration Schedule
MOTS-c is a compound that has a few side effects that came up in my research before I took it, and I wanted to share my experience with those here, if anyone is reading this or following along.
Drowsiness - I've experienced none of the drowsiness that some researchers experienced. I've read that this comes when you start the dose too high or if you have mitochondrial issues. I did 1mg of SS31 for 10 days straight in preparation for MOTS-c to repair mitochondria to mitigate that part of it. (There are different schools of thought and endless anecdotal "evidence" for SS31 before or during a MOTS-c cycle, so I just aimed in the middle. 10-day mini cycle beforehand.) And I slowly titrated up (screenshot attached) to mitigate starting too high.
Anaphylaxis - I've read that some people have a severe reaction to the MOTS, but I've only experienced mild redness and irritation at the injection site for 15-20 minutes after my dose. Nothing major.
Again, I just wanted to share a detailed account of my experience so far and address any concerns that I had, and someone else might have, before starting with this compound.
If you made it through my post, thanks for stopping by. If not, my words will drift on forever, into the ether. Either way, sometimes it's nice to get my thoughts written down. The more I research and the more I experience, the more I can share that experience with others. I hope everyone stays safe and continues to learn and grow.
