MOTS-c (10mg)

MOTS-c – Overview

What is MOTS-c?

MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide that plays a critical role in cellular energy regulation and metabolic function. Unlike most peptides, MOTS-c is encoded by mitochondrial DNA and acts as a metabolic regulator, enhancing mitochondrial efficiency, improving glucose utilization, and promoting fat metabolism. It's widely studied for its anti-aging, endurance, and metabolic health benefits.

For Practitioners: Clinical Guidance

Mechanism of Action

MOTS-c modulates nuclear gene expression related to metabolism, enhances glucose uptake in skeletal muscle, and activates AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase), a key energy sensor. It improves mitochondrial function, insulin sensitivity, and fatty acid oxidation, making it useful in treating metabolic dysfunction, weight management, and age-related decline.

Benefits

• Improves insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism
• Enhances mitochondrial function and cellular energy
• Promotes fat loss and metabolic flexibility
• Supports endurance and exercise performance
• May improve cognitive function and reduce inflammation

Dosing Protocol

• Typical Dose: 5–15 mg per dose
• Frequency: 2–3 times per week or daily, depending on goals
• Route: Subcutaneous injection, preferably in the morning
• Cycle Duration: 4–6 weeks or ongoing low-dose therapy for metabolic support

Monitoring

• Track blood glucose, insulin sensitivity, and lipid profile
• Monitor body composition, energy, endurance, and mood
• Evaluate inflammatory markers or mitochondrial biomarkers (if available)

For Patients: What You Should Know

What It Does

MOTS-c helps your body use energy more efficiently by improving how your cells process glucose and fat. It boosts metabolism, supports endurance, and may help protect against aging and chronic disease.
