MOTS-c
Mitochondrial-Derived Peptide | Metabolic Regulator for Fat Loss, Endurance, and Longevity
Overview:
MOTS-c is a naturally occurring mitochondrial-derived peptide that plays a key role in cellular energy regulation, fat metabolism, and glucose control. Often referred to as a “metabolic mini-hormone,” MOTS-c enhances the body’s ability to burn fat, improve insulin sensitivity, and adapt to metabolic stress — making it an ideal peptide for those seeking fat loss, improved endurance, and anti-aging support.
This product is supplied as a lyophilized powder and requires reconstitution prior to subcutaneous injection.
Key Benefits:
• Enhances fat oxidation and metabolic flexibility
• Improves glucose utilization and insulin sensitivity
• May support exercise endurance and muscle preservation
• Activates AMPK, a key longevity and metabolic regulator
• Supports cellular defense against oxidative stress and inflammation
Reconstitution Instructions:
• Reconstitute with Bacteriostatic Water (BAC)
• Example: Add 1mL of BAC to a 10mg vial to yield a 10mg/mL solution
• Gently swirl (do not shake) until fully dissolved
• Store reconstituted MOTS-c refrigerated (2–8°C) and use within 30 days
Typical Dosing Guidelines:
• Dose: 5–10mg per injection
• Frequency: 2–3× per week (often pre-workout or morning)
• Administration: Subcutaneous injection (abdomen or thigh)
• Cycle Duration: 4–12 weeks, with breaks as needed for response assessment
Monitoring & Considerations:
• Well-tolerated with low risk of side effects
• Mild fatigue or hunger modulation may occur
• Not intended as a replacement for exercise or dietary changes, but pairs well with both
Note: MOTS-c is popular among athletes, biohackers, and longevity-focused individuals for its unique ability to improve metabolic performance at the cellular level. It’s best utilized as part of a structured fat loss, endurance, or metabolic health protocol.
