NAD+, MOTS-C & SS-31 Energy Peptides in Southlake
On this page
Every week at Medrein Health and Aesthetics in Southlake, Dr. Mikki hears the same frustrations from patients: “I’m exhausted all the time,” “I don’t have the energy I used to,” “My brain feels foggy,” “I can’t keep up with my kids or my workouts anymore.” These aren’t just complaints – they’re symptoms of cellular energy decline, and they’re affecting everyone from busy executives in Southlake Town Square to active parents trying to keep up with their families.
The problem isn’t just in your head, and it’s not something you need to accept as normal aging. At the cellular level, your mitochondria – the powerhouses that create energy in every cell – are declining in function. But here’s the exciting news: Dr. Haritha Mikkilineni, a board-certified ER physician, now offers three revolutionary energy peptides that can restore your cellular energy production, reverse fatigue, and help you feel decades younger.
NAD+, MOTS-C, and SS-31 represent the cutting edge of mitochondrial medicine and anti-aging therapy. These aren’t stimulants that give you a temporary buzz. They’re sophisticated compounds that work at the cellular level to optimize how your body produces and uses energy. Let’s explore each one and how they can transform your energy, health, and vitality.
NAD+ Therapy – The Master Energy Molecule
NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is one of the most important molecules in your body. It’s found in every single cell and is absolutely essential for energy production, DNA repair, and hundreds of metabolic processes. The problem? NAD+ levels decline by approximately 50% between age 40 and 60, contributing to fatigue, cognitive decline, and accelerated aging.
What NAD+ does in your body:
- Powers mitochondrial energy production (ATP synthesis)
- Activates sirtuins – longevity and anti-aging proteins
- Supports DNA repair and cellular regeneration
- Regulates circadian rhythms and sleep quality
- Enhances metabolic function and fat burning
- Protects neurons and supports brain health
- Reduces inflammation throughout the body
- Supports cardiovascular health

Many patients at Medrein report feeling noticeably more energetic within hours of their first infusion, with cumulative benefits building over subsequent treatments. Results may vary.
MOTS-C Peptide – The Mitochondrial Exercise Mimetic
MOTS-C is a relatively new discovery in the peptide world, but it’s already creating excitement in longevity and performance medicine circles. This peptide is actually encoded in your mitochondrial DNA and acts as a signaling molecule between your mitochondria and the rest of your body. Think of it as a messenger that tells your cells to optimize energy production and metabolic function.
What makes MOTS-C special:
- Mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP)
- Regulates metabolic homeostasis
- Acts as an “exercise mimetic” – produces benefits similar to exercise
- Enhances insulin sensitivity dramatically
- Activates AMPK pathway (metabolic master switch)
- Improves mitochondrial function throughout body
- Protects against metabolic diseases
- Supports healthy aging processes

MOTS-C protocol at Medrein:
Dr. Mikki typically prescribes MOTS-C as subcutaneous injections, usually 5-15mg administered 2-3 times per week. Many patients in Southlake use MOTS-C as part of their fitness and body composition optimization protocols, often combining it with structured exercise programs for synergistic benefits. Treatment cycles typically run 4-12 weeks, with some patients continuing long-term for sustained metabolic optimization. Results may vary.
SS-31 (Elamipretide) – The Mitochondrial Protector
SS-31, also known as Elamipretide, is perhaps the most sophisticated mitochondrial peptide available. This small peptide has a remarkable ability to penetrate mitochondrial membranes and protect them from oxidative damage while optimizing their energy production. If NAD+ provides the fuel and MOTS-C optimizes the signaling, SS-31 protects and repairs the mitochondria themselves.
How SS-31 works:
- Targets cardiolipin in inner mitochondrial membrane

Frequently asked questions
How quickly will I feel results from NAD+, MOTS-C, or SS-31?
The timeline varies depending on which peptide you use and your individual physiology. With NAD+ therapy, many patients notice an energy boost within hours to days of the first infusion, with mental clarity often improving within 1 to 3 days; benefits build over 2 to 4 weeks, optimal results typically arrive around 4 to 8 weeks of consistent therapy, and some benefits persist after treatment ends. With MOTS-C, metabolic improvements often appear in 1 to 2 weeks, energy enhancement in 2 to 4 weeks, exercise performance gains in 3 to 6 weeks, body composition changes in 6 to 12 weeks, and maximum benefits by 8 to 12 weeks. With SS-31, reduced oxidative stress is often reported in 1 to 2 weeks, energy improvements in 2 to 4 weeks, exercise capacity gains in 3 to 6 weeks, cardiovascular benefits in 4 to 8 weeks, and comprehensive optimization by 8 to 12 or more weeks. Most patients at Medrein notice some improvement within the first 1 to 2 weeks, with benefits continuing to build throughout treatment. Results may vary.
Are these energy peptides safe?
As a board-certified ER physician, Dr. Mikki prioritizes patient safety, and all three energy peptides have strong safety profiles when properly prescribed and monitored. NAD+ is a molecule naturally present in every cell and is generally very safe and well tolerated, with extensive research behind it; the main effects some patients notice are temporary flushing during an IV infusion or nausea if it's infused too quickly, both easily managed with proper administration. MOTS-C has shown an excellent safety profile in studies, is naturally occurring in the body, and is well tolerated, with minimal side effects and no significant adverse effects reported in clinical use. SS-31 has undergone extensive safety testing in clinical trials, is well tolerated in research studies, and works protectively rather than as a stimulant, with a good long-term safety profile and minimal side effects. Every patient completes medical screening before starting, and these peptides are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding; Dr. Mikki monitors individual responses and adjusts protocols as needed to keep treatment safe.
How much do NAD+, MOTS-C, and SS-31 therapies cost?
The investment depends on which peptides you choose, your dosing needs, and treatment duration. NAD+ IV infusions typically carry a higher cost per session, with pricing based on dosage (such as 250mg or 500mg) and package pricing available for multiple sessions; subcutaneous NAD+ is generally a more affordable option. MOTS-C is a mid-range investment, with cost depending on dosing and frequency; it's typically dosed 2 to 3 times weekly over treatment cycles of 8 to 12 weeks. SS-31 is a premium peptide therapy that reflects more sophisticated research and development, typically dosed 3 to 5 times weekly, with the investment reflecting its mitochondrial benefits. Combining peptides is available with customized package pricing, and many protocols are HSA/FSA eligible. Pricing is discussed transparently during your consultation, so contact Medrein Health and Aesthetics for current pricing on individual peptides or combination protocols.
Can I combine energy peptides with other treatments?
Yes. Dr. Mikki often combines NAD+, MOTS-C, and SS-31 with complementary therapies, building a customized protocol around your goals. That can include other peptide therapies such as CJC-1295/Ipamorelin for growth hormone optimization or TB-500/BPC-157 for healing and recovery, layered into a comprehensive peptide stack. It can also include lifestyle optimization, such as targeted exercise programming, anti-inflammatory nutrition, sleep optimization, and stress management, alongside IV nutrient therapy for vitamin and mineral optimization, antioxidant support, methylation support, and mitochondrial cofactors. For some patients, Dr. Mikki adds hormone optimization, metabolic testing, or a broader preventive-medicine evaluation as part of a comprehensive health assessment. Results may vary.
How long should I continue energy peptide therapy?
Treatment duration depends on your goals and which peptides you're using. Short-term intensive protocols run about 4 to 8 weeks and are often used for energy restoration after illness, a metabolic reset, or performance optimization ahead of an event. Medium-term optimization protocols run about 12 to 16 weeks for more comprehensive benefits, such as body composition changes, metabolic improvement, or significant overall health gains. For long-term wellness goals like anti-aging, longevity, or chronic condition management, treatment continues on an ongoing basis with periodic breaks and maintenance dosing. Dr. Mikki typically starts with an initial intensive phase, evaluates your results, and then transitions you to a maintenance protocol if desired, reassessing periodically and adjusting based on your response. Many patients complete intensive cycles several times a year, while others continue long-term with lower maintenance dosing for sustained anti-aging benefits. Results may vary.
