What is MOTS-c?
•Mitochondrial-Derived Peptide (MDP): MOTS-c is a short peptide encoded by mitochondrial DNA, not nuclear DNA — making it unique compared to most peptides.
•Cellular Metabolic Regulator: It plays a role in controlling how the body responds to metabolic stress, particularly by regulating glucose and fat utilization.
•Exercise-Mimicking Effects: Often described as a “mitochondrial exercise signal”, it activates pathways (like AMPK) similar to endurance training, enhancing energy efficiency and stress resistance.
•Tissue Targets: Impacts skeletal muscle, liver, and fat tissue, helping the body adapt to metabolic challenges.
⚡ Key Benefits of MOTS-c 
•Improved Energy & Endurance
•Boosts mitochondrial function and increases exercise capacity.
•May enhance stamina, muscle output, and recovery.
•Glucose Regulation
•Increases glucose uptake in muscle tissue.
•Helps improve insulin sensitivity and stabilize blood sugar levels.
•Fat Metabolism & Weight Support
•Encourages fat oxidation for energy.
•Potential role in reducing fat accumulation, making it of interest in obesity research.
•Longevity & Anti-Aging Potential
•Supports cellular resilience under stress.
•Research suggests it may counteract age-related declines in metabolism and physical performance.
•Cognitive & Stress Resilience
•Early studies point to neuroprotective effects and enhanced stress adaptation.
