MOTS-c
MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c) is a 16–amino acid peptide encoded within the mitochondrial genome — often referred to as a “metabolic regulator”. It plays a critical role in maintaining cellular energy balance by influencing how the body uses glucose and fatty acids for fuel. Research shows that MOTS-c levels naturally increase during exercise, suggesting it helps the body adapt to metabolic stress, enhance endurance, and support healthy aging.

What Is MOTS-c?
MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) that helps regulate energy metabolism and protect cells from stress. It signals within cells to promote metabolic balance, increase insulin sensitivity, and improve mitochondrial performance — all essential for sustained energy, fat metabolism, and muscle endurance. Because it directly impacts the mitochondria — the cell’s “powerhouses” — MOTS-c is being studied for its potential to combat metabolic diseases, obesity, and age-related decline.
Why Choose MOTS-c?
MOTS-c stands out as one of the few peptides coded by the mitochondrial genome, giving it a direct influence on how the body manages energy. Its ability to mimic the beneficial effects of exercise — improving endurance, metabolism, and insulin sensitivity — makes it highly valuable for research into metabolic health, athletic performance, and longevity.
Manufactured under strict ISO and cGMP-like conditions, MOTS-c undergoes HPLC purity testing and third-party verification to ensure consistency and reliability in every batch.
MOTS-c FAQs
What does MOTS-c do in the body?
MOTS-c helps regulate energy metabolism, enhances mitochondrial function, and protects against metabolic stress, making it essential for endurance and cellular health.
How is MOTS-c different from other peptides?
Unlike most peptides coded in the nuclear genome, MOTS-c is encoded in the mitochondrial DNA, allowing it to directly affect energy production and metabolic adaptation.
Can MOTS-c help with weight management?
Research suggests it promotes fat oxidation and improves insulin sensitivity, which may support a healthier metabolism and prevent obesity.
Does MOTS-c mimic exercise effects?
Yes — studies show MOTS-c levels rise during physical activity, helping improve energy efficiency and endurance similar to the effects of exercise.
Is MOTS-c used for anti-aging research?
Yes. Its ability to maintain mitochondrial health and protect against cellular stress makes it a strong candidate in longevity and anti-aging research.
