MOTS-c

MOTS-c is a naturally occurring peptide encoded by mitochondrial DNA. Research suggests it may influence how the body responds to metabolic stress, exercise, and aging-related decline in cellular function.

In preclinical studies, MOTS-c has been investigated for its possible effects on:

• Glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity
• Fat oxidation and energy expenditure
• Cellular stress resistance
• Exercise endurance and mitochondrial signaling pathways

Because of these properties, MOTS-c is often categorized as a research peptide in metabolic and longevity studies. However, it is important to note that it is not an FDA-approved medication and human clinical evidence is still limited.
