MOTS-c
10mg/vial
Mitochondrial-Derived Peptide
MOTS-c is a mitochondria-derived peptide (MDP) encoded within the mitochondrial genome. It acts as a mitochondrial hormone that regulates metabolic homeostasis, enhances exercise capacity, and promotes healthy aging. It is one of the most exciting longevity peptides discovered in recent years.

Mitochondrial encoded
Mechanism of Action
Activates AMPK via AICAR-independent pathway. Translocates from mitochondria to nucleus during metabolic stress, acting as a retrograde mitochondrial signal that coordinates nuclear gene expression for metabolic adaptation.
Scientific Benefits
- Metabolic Regulation — Activates AMPK pathway, improving glucose uptake, fatty acid oxidation, and insulin sensitivity.
- Exercise Performance — Increases endurance and physical performance by enhancing mitochondrial efficiency and energy utilization.
- Anti-aging — Circulating MOTS-c levels decline with age; supplementation reverses age-related metabolic decline in animal models.
- Obesity Prevention — Inhibits de novo lipogenesis and promotes fat loss, particularly visceral adipose tissue.
- Glucose Homeostasis — Improves insulin resistance and glucose tolerance, relevant for type 2 diabetes prevention.
- Stress Response — Translocates to the nucleus under stress to regulate gene expression and adaptive stress response.
- Longevity Signaling — Associated with increased lifespan in animal studies; mirrors benefits of caloric restriction.
