MOTS-c 10mg is $75 at Ascension Peptides, or $37.50 with code PEPTIDEDECK applied at checkout. That is $3.75 per milligram — the low end of the premium US tier, from a vendor that publishes batch-matched third-party testing and ships domestically.
Below: what that price actually gets you, how the vial sizes compare, and the four things to confirm before you pay anyone.
💊 The Deal
- $37.50 for a 10mg vial — $75 list, 50% off at checkout with code PEPTIDEDECK
- $3.75 per milligram, against a premium-tier market range of roughly $3.15–$4.20/mg
- Third-party tested, with batch-matched COA documentation and 99%+ typical purity
- Ships from the US — no customs risk, no overseas transit time
- Lyophilised powder. Bacteriostatic water and syringes are separate purchases
What $37.50 Gets You
A sealed 10mg vial of lyophilised MOTS-c under a foil-and-rubber crimp top. At a typical research dose that is several weeks of material from one vial, which is what makes the 10mg the value buy rather than the 5mg.
What is not in the box: bacteriostatic water, syringes, alcohol swabs, or dosing instructions. Those are separate, and the reconstitution math is yours — our reconstitution calculator does the conversion, and the MOTS-c dosage guide covers protocol.
5mg vs 10mg: The Only Comparison That Matters
The budget row is there as a warning, not an option. MOTS-c has a genuinely complex synthesis, and $1–$2/mg is not a discount — it is the price of underdosed, impure or counterfeit material. For a peptide this expensive to make, a price that far below the market is the single loudest red flag there is.
Check These Four Things Before You Pay
- Purity above 98%. Reputable MOTS-c tests at 98%+ by HPLC. No purity figure means no sale.
- Batch number matches your vial. A COA for a different lot proves the vendor once had a good batch, not that yours is one.
- Test date within about 12 months. Older than that and it is testing material you are not receiving.
- An independent lab is named. "In-house tested" is the vendor marking their own homework.
And the disqualifier: if a listing says "COA available on request," treat that as the answer. Vendors who test routinely publish the document, because it is the best thing they have to sell you.
Red Flags Worth Walking Away From
On Arrival
MOTS-c does not need to ship cold — freeze-dried peptide is stable at room temperature for normal transit, so a warm package is not a ruined one. Do three things when it lands: confirm the seal is intact, check the batch number against the COA, and refrigerate it if you are not using it immediately.
One caution that affects what you should buy: MOTS-c is not especially stable once reconstituted. Buying a larger vial to chase a lower per-mg price only pays if you get through it inside its usable window. Handling detail is in the MOTS-c peptide guide.
If the vial looks empty, that is normal. 10mg of freeze-dried peptide is a thin film or a small puck at the bottom of the glass, not a visible volume of powder.

Before You Buy: The Legal Position
MOTS-c is sold as research material, not for human consumption. It is not FDA approved for any indication, and the July 2026 advisory committee vote did not change that — it concerned pharmacy compounding under 503A, it is non-binding, and rulemaking has not completed. The full picture is in is MOTS-c FDA approved.
It is not a controlled substance, and buying it as research material is not a federal crime. Selling it for human use or attaching therapeutic claims to it is prohibited. Athletes should note it is banned in sport.
Worth being straight about the product you are buying: MOTS-c has no completed human efficacy trial. The preclinical work on AMPK activation and insulin sensitivity is real and interesting, and plasma MOTS-c rises with exercise in humans — but nobody has demonstrated a clinical outcome in people. Price it as an experimental compound. Our review covers what users report, and side effects covers the flushing issue.
