MOTS-C

from $300.00

MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide (a small signaling peptide encoded by mitochondrial DNA) that has been studied for its role in metabolic flexibility, insulin sensitivity pathways, and cellular stress adaptation—often described in research as an “exercise-mimetic” signal.

MOTS-C is explored for its energy and metabolic benefits, which may include:

  • Metabolic flexibility support (how efficiently the body uses fuel) 

  • Insulin sensitivity support (studied heavily in metabolic models) 

  • Mitochondrial function & cellular energy support (mitochondrial signaling peptide) 

  • Performance / recovery support (often positioned as “exercise signaling”) 

Contraindications and exclusions

  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding (insufficient human safety data)

  • Known allergy or hypersensitivity to MOTS-C or components

  • Active cancer or unclear cancer history—route to prescribing provider

  • Concomitant metabolic agents (e.g., strong AMPK-modulating drugs); provider to monitor and decide
