MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c) is a naturally occurring, mitochondrial-derived peptide that acts as an "exercise mimetic". It regulates cellular metabolism, improves insulin sensitivity, promotes fat burning, and targets age-related decline.
Energy Management: MOTS-c mimics the effects of fasting and physical exertion by triggering the AMPK pathway, which improves your cells' ability to produce and utilize energy.
Metabolic Flexibility: It helps the body shift between burning glucose and fats, which can combat insulin resistance and prevent diet-induced obesity.
Stress Adaptation: During cellular stress or exercise, MOTS-c signals the mitochondria and the cell nucleus to ramp up antioxidant defense and mitochondrial health.
Fat Loss & Weight Management: Often utilized in wellness protocols to decrease body weight and regulate appetite.
Blood Sugar Control: Promotes glucose uptake independently of insulin, making it highly effective against insulin resistance.
Longevity & Aging: Natural levels of MOTS-c decline as we age; supplemental use is being s
