How Long Does Reconstituted MOTS-c Remain Stable for Research Use?

MOTS-c ships as a white lyophilized powder, and that freeze-dried state is what protects the 16-amino-acid chain from degradation pathways that become active once it is dissolved. Sealed, desiccated storage at −20°C keeps the powder stable for extended periods.

After reconstitution, refrigeration slows but doesn't stop this degradation, which is why reconstituted MOTS-c has a shorter practical usable window than the dry powder form — consistent with the roughly 30-day reference window used across most of REVIVE LAB UAE's lyophilized peptide catalog.

A reconstituted solution showing cloudiness, discoloration, or visible particulate should be treated as unusable regardless of elapsed time — basic visual inspection before use is standard laboratory practice.
