MOTS-c Peptide
Scientific Overview and benefits
MOTS-c, a mitochondria-derived 16-amino-acid peptide, exhibits both cell-specific and hormonal functions, modulating AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathways to regulate metabolic stress responses and gene expression. It has been classified as a mitokine, influencing systemic metabolism through intracellular signaling.
Mechanism of Action
- Muscle Metabolism: Enhances insulin sensitivity, stimulates glucose transporters, and optimizes skeletal muscle adaptation via AMPK activation.
- Fat Cell Regulation: Modifies gene expression through mitonuclear communication, impacting antioxidant response elements (ARE) and metabolic pathways linked to glucose uptake and lipid utilization.
- Bone Formation: Regulates TGF-β/SMAD signaling, promoting osteogenic differentiation and bone density enhancement.
- Cardiovascular Influence: Correlates with endothelial function, potentially improving vascular reactivity via AMPK-mediated mechanisms.
- Cell Longevity: Interacts with aging regulators (NAD+, sirtuins) and exhibits a potential role in lifespan modulation.

Reviews
Ordered MOTS-c — arrived quickly and was very well packed. Looks great so far, but I’ll need more time to test the quality and effects.
I started using MOTS-c a few weeks ago and I’ve already noticed a difference in my energy, focus, and overall stamina. It also helps curb appetite and supports fat loss without jitters. Highly recommend it as part of any anti-aging or fitness routine!
MOTS-c gave me a real boost — more energy during the day and better endurance. Definitely a game changer for my routine!
Felt a real boost in energy and endurance. Subtle but steady fat loss. Great quality as always!
