MOTS-C Dosage Calculator
Calculate the appropriate MOTS-C peptide dosage based on body weight and desired dosage level for research purposes.
How to Use This Calculator
- Enter your body weight in kilograms
- Select the desired dosage level (low, medium, or high)
- Enter the concentration of your MOTS-C peptide solution
- Select the injection frequency
- Optionally enable vial calculation if you want to know how many vials to purchase
- Click Calculate to see your personalized dosage information
Formula Used
Dosage (mg) = Body Weight (kg) × Dosage Factor
Where:
- Dosage Factor = 0.5 for low dose, 1.0 for medium dose, 2.0 for high dose
- Injection Volume (ml) = Dosage (mg) ÷ Concentration (mg/ml)
- Vials Needed = (Injection Volume × Number of Doses) ÷ Vial Size
Example Calculation
Real-World Scenario:
A researcher planning to administer MOTS-C to a 75kg subject at medium dosage level with a 5mg/ml peptide solution.
Given:
- Body Weight = 75 kg
- Dosage Level = Medium (1.0 mg/kg)
- Concentration = 5 mg/ml
Calculation:
Dosage = 75 kg × 1.0 mg/kg = 75 mg
Injection Volume = 75 mg ÷ 5 mg/ml = 15 ml
Result: The subject requires 75 mg of MOTS-C, which equals 15 ml of the 5 mg/ml solution.
