MOTS-C

Mitochondrial-derived peptide for metabolic and exercise-adaptation support.

Subcutaneous, 2–3× weekly
Physician-supervised

Overview

MOTS-C is a mitochondrial-encoded peptide implicated in metabolic homeostasis and exercise capacity. Emerging longevity applications target insulin sensitivity and aging biology.

Key benefits

  • Metabolic and insulin sensitivity support
  • Exercise capacity
  • Mitochondrial function
  • Longevity marker support

How it works

Subcutaneous injection 2–3× weekly for 8–12 week cycles.

Mechanism

Mitochondrial-derived peptide activating AMPK; enhances glucose uptake and fatty-acid oxidation.

Who is this for

  • Metabolically at-risk adults
  • Athletes optimizing training
  • Longevity patients addressing insulin resistance

Considerations & safety

Well tolerated in reported protocols. Not FDA approved.
