MOTS-c is a small protein made in the mitochondria, often referred to as the cell's powerhouse, and it helps regulate how our cells use energy. By affecting how the body processes glucose and responds to insulin, MOTS-c plays a role in maintaining a healthy balance in metabolism. It works by moving to the cell’s nucleus, where it influences certain genes related to energy production and stress response, especially when the body is under metabolic stress. Research suggests MOTS-c may help support better glucose control and could be useful in addressing metabolic issues and age-related health concerns. MOTS-c has been shown to promote metabolic homeostasis and longevity, & improve exercise capacity, reduce obesity, insulin resistance and other disease processes such as osteoporosis.

MOTS-c 5mg - Mitochondrial Research Peptide
- Typical dosages can range, but commonly it’s 2mg per vial, which can be reconstituted with sterile water.
- The peptide is typically administered via subcutaneous injection.
- The dosing regimen often involves one injection per week, as it has a prolonged half-life (due to the DAC component).
- As with any peptide, there could be risks, such as injection site reactions, water retention, or possible changes in insulin sensitivity.
- It’s important to monitor health regularly and consult with a healthcare provider, especially if using for long-term purposes.
