Product information
MOTS-c — 10mg lyophilized peptide
MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) encoded by the mitochondrial genome, widely studied for its potential role in metabolic regulation, energy homeostasis and cellular protection.
Research has focused on its influence on glucose metabolism, insulin sensitivity and mitochondrial function, making it a key subject in metabolic health and aging studies, including exercise-mimetic models.
Form & purity
- Purity: >99%
- Form: lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder
- Grade: for research use only
What mots-c is, and what it's studied for
MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide involved in how cells manage glucose and respond to exercise. It is studied in short cycles for glucose handling and exercise-response models, usually administered two to three times per week.
Every vial ships lyophilised with molecular data, storage windows and reconstitution guidance documented. Lots are assayed by an independent laboratory before release, and certificates of analysis are available on request.

What the research shows
- MOTS-c is encoded in mitochondrial DNA, a small group of peptides distinct from nuclear-encoded ones.
- Animal studies link it to improved insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake in muscle.
- Levels appear to rise acutely with exercise in human plasma samples.
- Human trials are early, and clinical use remains off-label and supervised.
Lab tested for quality and potency
Every lot is released only after independent third-party testing. Certificates of analysis are available on request.
