What is MOTS-c?
MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide – essentially a ‘messenger’ from your cellular powerhouses (mitochondria) that regulates metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and longevity.
How Does It Work?
It works by improving how your mitochondria produce energy, making your cells more efficient at burning fat and using glucose. It also activates AMPK (your body’s ‘master metabolic switch’), which improves insulin sensitivity and promotes fat burning over fat storage.
Who Is This For?
Ideal for research into metabolic optimization, improving insulin resistance, enhancing endurance and exercise capacity, promoting healthy aging, and combating age-related metabolic decline.
This is a simplified explanation for educational purposes. For detailed scientific information, see the Product Specifications section below.

Product Specifications
- Purity: 99.6%
- Form: Lyophilized peptide
- Storage: 2-9°C Refrigerated
Research Information
- Type: Mitochondrial peptide
- Focus: Energy and metabolism
Research Dosage Overview
- Initial phase: 2.5-5 mg 2-3 times per week
- Standard research range: 5-7.5 mg 2-3 times per week
- Advanced research range: 7.5-10 mg 2-3 times per week
- Research cycles typically extend 4-8 weeks
Mechanism of Action
MOTS-c works primarily through AMPK activation - the cellular 'metabolic master switch.' It improves insulin sensitivity by promoting glucose uptake into skeletal muscle, enhances mitochondrial function, and activates metabolic genes. It essentially tells cells to 'burn fuel more efficiently.'
Key Research Characteristics
Mitochondrial-Derived Peptide
MOTS-c is encoded in the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) rather than nuclear DNA - one of only three known mitochondrial-derived peptides. It acts as a 'messenger' from mitochondria to the nucleus.
Exercise Mimetic Properties
Research shows MOTS-c mimics some beneficial effects of exercise at the cellular level, activating similar metabolic pathways even without physical activity.
Age-Dependent Decline
MOTS-c levels decline significantly with age, correlating with metabolic dysfunction. Supplementation in research models restores youthful metabolic profiles.
Potential Benefits in Research
Metabolic Optimization
- Enhanced mitochondrial function and efficiency
- Improved insulin sensitivity (up to 35% in studies)
- Better glucose uptake and utilization
