How this works
- Prescribed for youA US-licensed provider reviews your history before anything is filled, and decides whether it's right for you.
- Filled for your prescriptionMade by a 503A facility for your prescription. Shipped to you. Syringes and alcohol prep pads included.
- LegitScript certifiedIndependently checked for safe, legal telehealth practice. See our certification
- Not approved? You pay nothingIf the provider doesn't approve it, it's refunded in full automatically.
What “not FDA-approved” means: compounded medicines are made by a licensed pharmacy and filled for an individual prescription. The FDA doesn't review compounded medicines for safety, effectiveness or quality before they're dispensed, the way it reviews approved drugs. Your provider decides whether one is right for you.

Is this right for you?
It may fit if:
- You want a licensed provider to review your history before anything is prescribed
- You want one ingredient, made for your prescription. Made by a 503A facility for your prescription.
- You want to know who made it and how to report a problem
- You'd rather not buy something labeled “not for human use”
- You're comfortable with an injection, with directions from your provider
A licensed provider decides whether it's right for you, after reviewing your intake.
Research
What the research says (and doesn't)
What researchers have studied, and what they have not shown. None of this is a claim about what this peptide does for you; your provider talks with you about what is and isn't known.
Studied
- Animal study
In 2015, researchers reported a 16-amino-acid peptide encoded in the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene and named it MOTS-c. The work was in cells and mice, including age-related and diet-induced models of insulin resistance.
“Here we report a sORF within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA encoding a 16-amino-acid peptide named MOTS-c.”
- Animal study
A 2021 study measured physical performance in young, middle-aged and old mice given MOTS-c.
“MOTS-c can significantly enhance physical performance in young (2 mo.), middle-age (12 mo.), and old (22 mo.) mice.”
- Small human study
The same 2021 study measured the body's own MOTS-c in 10 healthy young men at rest and following exercise. No MOTS-c was given to these men.
“In humans, exercise induces endogenous MOTS-c expression in skeletal muscle and in circulation.”
- Registered trial, no results
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 1a/1b trial of CB4211, a MOTS-c analogue (not MOTS-c itself), enrolled 88 people and finished in April 2021. It has posted no results.
“This is a 3 part, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled study evaluating the safety, tolerability,”
- FDA review
FDA found that MOTS-c research was limited to cell and rodent studies, with molecular targets unknown and no dose-response assessment, and found no human data on MOTS-c drug products.
“FDA is particularly concerned about the lack of human data on drug products containing this substance”
Not shown
- No published human trial of MOTS-c itself was found. The only completed controlled human exposure is to an analogue, and its results have not been posted or published.
- The metabolic and exercise findings come from mice. The human data measure the body's own MOTS-c; none was dosed.
- FDA: molecular targets unknown, potential safety risks in humans unknown, and immunogenicity and impurity concerns.
- A randomized Phase 2 trial of subcutaneous MOTS-c in adults with prediabetes is registered in China and has no results yet.
MOTS-c is not FDA-approved. In briefing documents for its July 23–24, 2026 Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee meeting, FDA proposed not adding MOTS-c to the 503A bulks list; the committee's votes and any final FDA decision were not found. HHS's interim policy describes the conditions under which HHS does not intend to act against a 503A pharmacy that compounds it for a patient's own prescription.

What you should know
What it is
MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid peptide. It is one of the six peptides in an interim HHS policy for compounding pharmacies. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved and are not the same as brand-name medications. Nothing is made or shipped until a licensed provider approves it for you. If a provider says it's not right for you, you pay nothing.
Who it's for
You want a peptide prescribed by a licensed provider, not a research-use vial. You want one ingredient, made for your prescription. You want a person to ask between visits.
What comes in the box
Your MOTS-c Injectable, 40 mg, the syringes and alcohol prep pads you need for each injection, and the pharmacy insert, shipped cold-packed.
Can I get MOTS-c with a prescription?
Yes, by prescription. MOTS-c is one of the six peptides in HHS's interim policy (October 2026). A licensed provider decides whether it's right for you; if it is, it's made for your prescription by a 503A facility and shipped to you. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved and are not the same as brand-name medications.
Do I need a membership for MOTS-c?
No. You can order MOTS-c on its own: a short intake, a licensed provider's approval, and your prescription made and shipped. A membership adds four lab panels and four provider visits a year and a wellness consultant between visits.
How it's made
Made by a 503A facility for your prescription. One ingredient per product. Never blended. It is labeled with your name and your prescription.
Who sets the dose?
Your provider sets the dose.
Is it FDA-approved?
No. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved and are not the same as brand-name medications. The HHS policy that covers it is not FDA approval, and HHS can revisit it.
Side effects and reporting
Tell your care team about anything you notice. Anyone can also report a side effect to the FDA through MedWatch.

How do therapy plans work?
Your therapy is billed monthly at the plan price. 3-month minimum: cancel before month 3 and it's $35 for each month left. No fee after that. No fee before your first shipment is delivered, or if your provider stops your therapy. After that you can cancel anytime online.
Will it treat or fix a specific problem?
We don't make claims about what any peptide does for a specific problem. Evidence in people is limited for these peptides, and none of them is FDA-approved for any use. Your licensed provider talks with you about what is and isn't known, and decides whether one is right for you.
Do I need a membership to order a therapy?
No. Shop therapies need only a short online intake and, where your state requires it, a brief video visit with a licensed provider. No membership and no blood work. The membership is for people who want quarterly labs, four provider visits a year, and a wellness consultant who stays with them.
Is Optimize legitimate?
Yes. Optimize Health & Performance is LegitScript certified. Care is delivered by independent licensed providers in the states where they practice, every prescription is authorized by a licensed provider, and therapies ship from licensed US pharmacies.
What's the catch? Are there other fees?
Here's every one. A 3% service fee on each payment (it's a service fee, not a card surcharge), state tax where it applies, and $25 shipping on product orders under $199.99. Bundle specials include the fee and ship free; first-month intro offers add the fee and pay shipping like any other order. Medications and blood panels beyond the four included are priced separately, and you see every price before you pay.
