MOTS-c

What it is

A mitochondrial-derived peptide.

Unlike most peptides, it is naturally produced inside your mitochondria.

How it works

MOTS-c helps cells respond to metabolic stress.

It activates:

• AMPK
• Mitochondrial energy pathways
• Glucose uptake
• Fat oxidation

Think of it as mimicking some effects of exercise at the cellular level.

Potential benefits

• Increased endurance
• Improved insulin sensitivity
• Better metabolic health
• Improved energy production
• Possible anti-aging effects

Most evidence comes from animal studies; human research is still developing.
