MOTS-c Dosing & Reconstitution Chart
How many insulin-syringe units to draw for MOTS-c, based on how much bacteriostatic water you add to a 10 mg vial. Every number below is on a U-100 (100 units = 1 mL) syringe and matches our calculator.

Cells show units to draw on a U-100 insulin syringe. Highlighted cells exceed one full 1 mL (100-unit) syringe — add more water, split the dose, or use a larger syringe.
Calculate your exact MOTS-c dose
Pre-filled with MOTS-c’s commonly cited vial and dose. Change any field to match your vial — it shows the exact units, concentration, and doses per vial.
Add 2 mL of bacteriostatic water to your 10 mg vial. That gives you about 2 doses of 5 mg. For each dose, draw 100 units into a 100-unit insulin syringe.
MOTS-c dosing FAQ
How many units of MOTS-c should I draw?
Reconstituting a 10 mg vial of MOTS-c with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water gives 5 mg/mL. A 5 mg dose is about 100 units on a U-100 insulin syringe, roughly 2 doses per vial. This is a commonly cited example for context, not medical advice.
How much bacteriostatic water do I add to MOTS-c?
There is no single correct amount. More water makes each dose a larger, easier-to-measure volume; less water makes it more concentrated. The chart above shows the units for 1–5 mL — 2 mL is a common choice for a 10 mg vial.
How many doses are in a 10 mg MOTS-c vial?
At a 5 mg dose, a 10 mg vial holds about 2 doses. Larger doses mean fewer doses per vial, and the amount of water you add does not change this.
