MOTS-c
Mitochondrial-Derived Peptide · Free Base & Acetate
MOTS-c is a 16-amino acid mitochondrial-derived peptide that has garnered significant research interest for its role in metabolic regulation. It acts as an exercise mimetic — activating pathways that improve fat metabolism, enhance insulin sensitivity, and regulate energy homeostasis. Research suggests it may help combat obesity by improving mitochondrial function and reducing metabolic dysfunction at the cellular level.
