MOTS-c Injection 10 mg

MOTS-c is a small peptide (16 amino acids) naturally produced in the body, particularly within mitochondria—the “power plants” of cells. “MOTS-c” stands for Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA type-c. It’s classified as a mitochondria-derived peptide.

How Does MOTS-c Work?

MOTS-c acts as a cell signaling molecule—especially in metabolic tissues.

• It influences mitochondrial function, energy production, and cellular metabolism.
• Enhances fat and glucose metabolism, increases insulin sensitivity, and stimulates production of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), known as a “metabolic master switch.”

Benefits & Uses

1. Metabolic Health

   • Improves insulin sensitivity and glucose utilization (helpful for prediabetes, type 2 diabetes).
   • May reduce fat accumulation and favor weight loss/metabolic flexibility.
   • Activates AMPK, which helps regulate energy expenditure.

2. Exercise Performance/Recovery

   • Enhances exercise endurance and capacity in animal studies.
   • Protects muscle from fatigue and age-related decline (“muscle longevity peptide”).

3. Anti-Aging & Longevity

   • MOTS-c levels decline with age; supplementation may counteract aspects of age-related metabolic dysfunction.
   • Improves mitochondrial function—considered a hallmark of healthy aging.

4. Cellular Stress Resistance

   • May protect against oxidative and metabolic stress at the cellular level.

Emerging Areas of Research

• Fatty liver disease
• Osteoporosis protection
• Cardiovascular support
• Enhanced cognitive/brain metabolic function

Mechanism Summary

MOTS-c acts via:

• AMPK activation: Leading to improved energy metabolism and greater glucose uptake.
• Regulation of mitochondrial gene expression: Affecting metabolism and cellular energy.
• Improving insulin sensitivity: Lowering blood sugar and possibly reducing body fat.
