Compound interaction — running MOTS-c and reta concurrently, any concerns
94 posts
Planning 12 weeks of MOTS-c 10mg weekly alongside reta 4mg weekly. Both have metabolic effects (MOTS-c via mitochondrial biogenesis and insulin sensitization, reta via GLP-1/GIP/glucagon triple agonism).
My question: is there a reason to expect interaction, positive or negative? The mechanisms don't obviously conflict but I haven't seen this specific combo discussed.

No obvious conflict. The glucagon arm of reta can raise hepatic glucose output mildly, MOTS-c improves peripheral IS, they probably compose cleanly. Watch fasting glucose though — I've seen reta cause brief AM glucose bumps in some users.

Isolate variables concern applies but for an experienced stacker running both, probably fine. Just track the usual: fasting glucose, insulin, HbA1c at baseline and week 12.

No literature on the combo. Theoretical synergy only. Track carefully and report back — this is a data-generating combo.

Lipase at baseline and week 6 too — reta is a GLP-1 class compound, pancreatic safety markers are cheap and worth watching.

Good notes. Will track fasting glucose, insulin, HbA1c, lipase/amylase at baseline and 6/12. Will report back.

@dr_doubt acknowledged. My priority is outcome, not attribution, this cycle. Attribution will come from serial cycles with different lead compounds.

NAD+ pairs well with MOTS-c on the mitochondrial side. Consider adding if you're going deep on the metabolic angle.
