MOTS-C — 10mg per Vial

MOTS-C is a 16-amino acid peptide encoded directly within mitochondrial DNA — one of only a handful of peptides in existence with this origin. Discovered in 2015, it has rapidly become one of the most significant compounds in metabolic, exercise science, and longevity research. Unlike synthetic peptides designed to mimic biology, MOTS-C is itself a product of biological evolution — a molecular signal generated inside the mitochondria and transmitted to the nucleus to regulate how cells produce, consume, and adapt to energy demands. In controlled laboratory settings, MOTS-C is studied for its role in AMPK activation, glucose metabolism regulation, mitochondria-to-nucleus signaling, and cellular stress adaptation — positioning it at the intersection of three of the most active frontiers in life sciences research.

Important Note

MOTS-C is not approved for human consumption, medical use, or diagnostic purposes. It is supplied strictly for laboratory research only. Handling should be performed by qualified professionals in an appropriate controlled research setting.
