Starting SS-31 or MOTS-C? Read This Before You Panic.

I want to share something real quick for anyone starting mitochondrial peptides like SS-31 or MOTS-C, because a few people have asked me why they felt a little “off” the first couple of days.

Here’s the truth:

Not everyone feels this, but some people do, and there’s a reason behind it.

These peptides don’t work like stimulants. They aren’t giving you a fake energy spike. They’re working at the actual cellular level, shifting how your mitochondria create and manage energy. Dr. Seeds teaches this better than anyone, when you improve the cell, the system follows.

And sometimes, when you start improving the cell, your body needs a minute to adjust.

So yes… the first day or two, you might feel tired, shaky, warm, a little off, or like your body is “resetting.” That doesn’t mean something’s wrong. It usually just means your metabolism and your mitochondria are switching gears.

Think of it like upgrading the engine in a car, there’s a moment where the system recalibrates before it starts running cleaner, smoother, and with more efficiency.

Most people who feel this notice it passes quickly. Hydration, electrolytes, not dosing completely fasted, and taking it slow the first couple days make a huge difference.

Again, this isn’t medical advice, and everyone responds differently.

But I want you aware of it so you’re not surprised if it happens.

We’re using educational research based on Dr. Seeds’ work to help you understand what’s going on inside the body, not to diagnose or treat anything. Just to keep you informed so you can recognize what’s normal when the body starts to optimize at the cellular level.

If you’ve felt this “starting phase,” or if you’ve noticed the shift once your system stabilizes, drop your experience below. The more we share, the more everyone learns.
