Half-life reference / Low-confidence model input
MOTS-c half-life
The PinPoint library stores 3 hours (0.125 days) for MOTS-c. This is the input behind the arithmetic below, not a measurement of your levels or how long an effect lasts.
Preclinical discovery publication; no published human reference source was found in the library review.

Reading this particular reference
The three-hour MOTS-c value is a low-confidence tracking estimate grounded in preclinical context. The source note explicitly says no published human reference was found in the library review. Its three-times-weekly and five-times-weekly labels do not specify a unique sequence of gaps. Rather than invent an interval, this page presents a single-contribution decay curve and the five-half-life horizon, leaving repeated-dose accumulation unassigned for those ambiguous labels.
No established human half-life range is provided in the source note. The library lists subcutaneous for tracking. A listed route is not proof that every input was measured through that route. The linked reference and its study context matter when interpreting the stored number.
MOTS-c decay table
Starting at an arbitrary 100%, each elapsed half-life divides the remaining modeled amount by two. The calculation is 100 × 2 raised to the power of minus elapsed hours divided by 3. It describes a single contribution with no additional entries. The percentages are not percentages of benefit, receptor activity, or symptom relief.
| Half-lives | Hours | Days | Remaining (rounded) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | 0 | 100.0% |
| 1 | 3 | 0.125 | 50.0% |
| 2 | 6 | 0.25 | 25.0% |
| 3 | 9 | 0.375 | 12.5% |
| 4 | 12 | 0.5 | 6.3% |
What the listed schedules mean mathematically
The library labels are Three times weekly; Five times weekly. They describe available tracking patterns, not instructions. In an equal-input model, the limiting peak accumulation ratio is 1 ÷ (1 − 2 raised to minus interval divided by half-life). It compares a repeated pattern with one instantaneous input and assumes the same interval continues indefinitely.
- Three times weekly: no unique fixed interval is specified, so no accumulation ratio is assigned.
- Five times weekly: no unique fixed interval is specified, so no accumulation ratio is assigned.
From a reference curve to a dose history
PinPoint’s Home curve models your levels between doses from published half-life data. Drag to scrub modeled values at any timestamp, or preview 30 days of a dose pattern. Log injections with compound, dose, site, and pain level, and backfill past doses so the history is complete from day one.
The graph on this page is simpler: it isolates exponential elimination so you can inspect the arithmetic. PinPoint’s modeled curves are mathematical visualizations of published population averages and do not account for individual variation. A modeled amount is not a laboratory concentration.

Questions, answered
Is the half-life of MOTS-c the same for everyone?
No. Half-life varies with the person, formulation and study context. No established human half-life range is provided in the source note. This library input is low confidence and is not an established individual human value.
How long until MOTS-c clears?
With the stored 3-hour scalar, five half-lives take 15 hours (0.625 days), leaving 3.125% of one modeled starting contribution. Exponential decay never reaches exactly zero. This is not a detection window, a washout instruction, or proof that effects have ended.
PinPoint is a tracking and unit-conversion tool, not a medical device. Modeled levels are mathematical illustrations, not blood tests or individual predictions. Medical decisions belong with your healthcare provider.
