I've heard the same from others on increasing BAC, maybe filtering could help as well?
It's exhausting, I had this happen with Testosterone Subq but it's an oil base and known to cause this. I switched to IM and zero issues ever since. I'm going to filter my Mots-C to see if it helps prevent getting these reactions.
Good to know, thanks for sharing.
Are you using any wearable to track sleep quality? Ss31 wired my research subject and for that reason it was always taken in the am.
It's definitely worth doing, just to be on the safe side. I'm not great about filtering my own peps but I make sure to filter anything I recon for the family.
I just realized I made a typo in this comment. I did NOT have an ISR, I only had an allergic reaction. If I only had an ISR, I'd deal with that and poke on. 😊
oh no, you had it right--I was agreeing with you that no, mine isn't an allergy, just an ISR and a common one with MOTS-C. I agree that yours was DEFINITELY an allergy and not worth daring it to get worse.
No, sorry I do not wear anything. I went from waking up around 3-4am every night to waking up when my alarm clock goes off at 6am and i feel incredibly well rested. I wake up and I dont have to snooze the clock for half an hour.
I filter mine..
Vestibular dizziness is not uncommon, as an issue separate from taking peps. Especially during viral infectious disease season. Maybe it would be a better test if you this let up before you try the next dose, that way it would seem more likely to not be a coincidence
The protocol is 3x a week, so I'll have tomorrow to recover, if needed. I don't think it's related to the flu or illness because it started within 20 minutes of my dose this morning. Going up 1 mg on Friday should tell me if it's the cause. We're all lab rats. 🐀
Thanks, me too. I understand that correlation doesn't equal causation, also. We'll see what happens.
I’m coming up on the final 3 weeks of the protocol. The RS has been tolerating the peps very well. I also have been following the protocol dosages. The previous MOTSc (number 5) dose did result in an itchy area. Nothing too bad, but there was a reaction. The RS was introduced to GLOW during the protocol to see if there would be a ISR to that blend. To prep for GLOW, the RS took oral anti-histamine meds. I’m thinking now the anti-histamines for GLOW may have helped the first few rounds of MOTSc. Today is dose number 6. Will see how it goes. BTW, the 100mg NAD+ does leave a lump. The reconstitution ratio requires 40 units for 100mg.
I titrated up to 3 mg Mots-C last week. I start 5 mg tomorrow. So far, I've had no adverse reaction, not even an ISR. 🤞
Totes jelly. I really liked MOTS-C; I honestly liked the whole mitochondrial protocol. I really DID feel better during and after. But the hard lumps for weeks was just one gross out too far.
What is your heart rate like? What is your blood pressure like?
UP. I'm buzzing like a bee. It would be hard to get a true reading because of Reta.
Thanks. It's very odd since when I search online, it says multiple studies associate MOTS-C with a lower BP and HR (!) But after reading your comment, I really begin to wonder. I have a kit I was suppose to use but I need to keep my BP & HR in check. On a side note, do you use anything to lower your BP? I've recently switched to Telmisartan; seems to work nicely.
I've been taking Lisinopril for several years. My doc says 10 mg is a baby dose, but it works. I have a cuff at home, but since starting Reta, I have a lot more variation in both numbers it seems.
Thanks for the update. I’m in the final weeks. 3 NAD+ and 6 more MOTSc doses to go. My research mirrors yours. The SS-31 along with NAD+ for 6 weeks was amazing. Mentally and physically had so much endurance. The daily SS-31 pin was annoying at first, but I really missed it when completed. MOTSc is leaving welts and itching, nothing too uncomfortable tho. This is the 14 weeks protocol, 4mg SS-31, 100mg NAD+ and 5mg MOTSc. Not sure what’s next for me. Was planning a GLOW or KLOW cycle but may do Tesamorelin for a couple months first.
