MOTS-C
$169.00
MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA type-c) is a mitochondrial-derived peptide composed of 16 amino acids. It plays a key role in regulating metabolism, cellular stress response, and mitochondrial function. Unlike most peptides, MOTS-c is encoded in the mitochondrial DNA, not nuclear DNA, making it uniquely positioned in cellular energy management and metabolic regulation.
Potential Benefits (Based on Existing Research)
MOTS-c has been studied for its potential to:
- Improve metabolic function and insulin sensitivity
- Support weight management and fat utilization
- Enhance mitochondrial performance and ATP production
- Promote exercise endurance and physical performance
- Reduce oxidative stress and promote healthy aging
- Offer protection against age-related metabolic decline
Note: These effects are based on preclinical research and limited human trials; MOTS-c is not FDA-approved.
Description
Mechanism of Action
MOTS-c works by:
- Activating AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase), a key energy sensor in cells
- Promoting glucose metabolism and increasing mitochondrial biogenesis
- Enhancing fatty acid oxidation and reducing fat accumulation
- Helping cells adapt to metabolic stress and low-energy states
Potential Side Effects / Considerations
- Generally well-tolerated in animal and early-stage human research
- Possible mild fatigue or appetite suppression
- Long-term safety data is still being developed
- Not recommended during pregnancy or for individuals with mitochondrial disorders without clinical oversight
Note: These effects are based on preclinical research and limited human trials; MOTS-c is not FDA-approved.
