MOTS-C 10mg

The Mitochondrial Hormone for Cellular Energy & Metabolic Health

MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c) is a naturally occurring 16-amino acid peptide encoded directly by mitochondrial DNA — making it one of the most unique compounds in peptide research. Often called a "mitochondrial hormone," it plays a central role in how your cells produce and regulate energy.

Key Research Areas

• Cellular energy metabolism — regulates how mitochondria produce and distribute energy at the cellular level
• Insulin sensitivity — studied for its role in improving glucose uptake and metabolic flexibility
• Stress adaptation — may help cells respond more efficiently to metabolic and oxidative stress
• Longevity research — emerging studies link MOTS-c to healthy aging and mitochondrial function

As a peptide encoded by mitochondrial DNA rather than nuclear DNA, MOTS-c represents a frontier in understanding how our cells communicate and self-regulate — making it a compelling subject for metabolic and longevity research.
