MOTS-c, 20 mg
MOTS‑c is a mitochondrial‑derived peptide (MDP) identified in 2012 and studied for its role in metabolic regulation, cellular energy balance, and healthy aging. As a peptide encoded within mitochondrial DNA, it has attracted significant scientific interest for its ability to influence pathways tied to glucose metabolism, exercise capacity, and cellular stress adaptation.
Key Research Areas
• Metabolic regulation — Research highlights MOTS‑c’s role in improving insulin sensitivity and supporting glucose utilization.
• Exercise performance — Studies in aging models show notable improvements in endurance and physical capacity, contributing to its reputation as an “exercise‑mimetic” peptide.
• Cellular stress response — MOTS‑c has been observed to activate AMPK and enhance fat oxidation, supporting cellular adaptation to metabolic stress.
• Healthy aging — Its influence on metabolic pathways and mitochondrial signaling has made it a focal point in longevity research.
