Protocol
Running a mitochondrial protocol
What the record holds about the schedule for the mitochondrial peptides — which is a schedule for each of them and a half-life for none.
Last updated
0 of 5 hold a half-life measurement. A curve needs that and a schedule, which is why 0 lines are drawn below and 5 members appear in the table with no line at all.
This page draws no curves, and that is the whole of what it has to say. Five compounds, five circulated or extrapolated daily schedules, and not one half-life on file for any of them. MOTS-c is the case worth naming: a ten-week titration ladder in 200 mcg steps is published in several places, it is arithmetic scaled from a mouse dose rather than anything a person was given, and there is no pharmacokinetic measurement anywhere to say whether a daily interval is short, long, or beside the point.
The schedule on file
Read the last column first. Four kinds of thing get printed as a dose in this category and they are not the same kind of fact: an approved label, a trial protocol, a figure the community circulates, and arithmetic done on an animal study. What each chip means.
| Compound | Schedule on file | Half-life | Accumulation | Where the schedule comes from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NAD+schedule only | 3x a week50-250 mg 2-3x/week | not on file | —needs a half-life and an interval from the same record | circulated |
| 5-Amino-1MQschedule only | daily250-500 mcg daily | not on file | —needs a half-life and an interval from the same record | extrapolated |
| Humaninschedule only | dailyNo validated human dose; community: 250 mcg - 1 mg/day SC, or 2-5 mg 2-3x/week; TBD (no validated human dose) | not on file | —needs a half-life and an interval from the same record | circulated |
| MOTS-cschedule only | daily5-10 mg 2-3x/week | not on file | —needs a half-life and an interval from the same record | extrapolatedThe ten-week ladder circulated for MOTS-c is arithmetic from an animal dose. No study administered it to a person, and every graded row this corpus holds for MOTS-c traces to one 2015 mouse paper. |
| SS-31schedule only | daily5-10 mg daily | not on file | —needs a half-life and an interval from the same record | trial |
No curve can be drawn on this page
A curve needs a half-life and a dosing interval from the same record. Not one of these 5 compounds has a half-life on file, so this section is empty and stays empty until a measurement exists. The schedules in the table above are real — people run them — and there is nothing on file to say what they do between doses.
What the curves do not model
The rise is not modelled. No absorption rate constant is on file for anything here, so every dose appears at full height the instant it is given. A real subcutaneous injection takes hours to peak. The decay is measured; the vertical line at each dose is a placeholder for a shape there is nothing to draw.
The axis is percent of each compound's own peak, and it is not a blood level. No volume of distribution is on file for anything on this page, so no curve here can carry a concentration. Two lines both at 50% are two compounds each at half of their own maximum — not two equal amounts of anything, and not a comparison of potency.
What the evidence says, separately
This page is about the schedule. It says nothing about whether any of it works — that is graded row by row against a named condition, and it lives on the goal pages, each of which opens with how many compounds were checked before it says which earned a row.

What this page does not say
It reports the schedules on file and what the measured half-lives imply about them. It does not recommend a compound, a dose, an interval or a combination, and a schedule appearing here is a record that somebody publishes it rather than a reason to run it. Three of the four source classes are not approvals of anything.
Lay this out as a week
The planner takes a list of compounds and turns it into administration days, with the vial maths and the same-syringe question answered per pairing.
- Open 5 compounds in the protocol builder — a week of administration days, built from the schedules above
- Check the same list in the stack checker — nine dimensions across every pairing, including the ones with nothing on record
