Mots-C Peptide (For Research Only)

$180.00

MOTS-C (Mitochondrial open reading frame of the 12S rRNA-c) is a peptide encoded in mitochondrial DNA that supports glucose metabolism in skeletal muscle. It benefits people with diabetes, obesity, and age-related metabolic decline, and is naturally boosted by exercise, making it an “exercise mimetic.”

As an exercise mimetic, MOTS-C activates cellular pathways similar to those triggered by physical activity, offering potential benefits for those unable to exercise. However, its natural levels decline with age. Dysregulated MOTS-C is linked to insulin resistance, impaired insulin secretion, and mitochondrial dysfunction, including oxidative stress and reduced NAD+ levels. It also helps regulate proteins involved in metabolic flexibility and age-related diseases.
