MOTS-C

What is it?

MOTS-C is a mitochondrial-derived peptide involved in metabolism, energy production, and insulin sensitivity. It is often referred to as an “exercise mimetic” because it may mimic some benefits of exercise by improving metabolic function and mitochondrial activity.

Key Benefits

• Supports fat loss and metabolism

• May improve insulin sensitivity and glucose control

• Supports mitochondrial health and energy production

• May improve endurance and physical performance

• Supports healthy aging and metabolic function

Possible Side Effects

Usually mild:

• Injection site irritation

• Headache

• Mild fatigue

• Muscle cramping

• Mild digestive discomfort

Important Notes

• Best taken fasted

• Commonly dosed in the morning or pre-workout

• Avoid excessive or prolonged high dosing

• Overuse may contribute to oxidative stress or hormonal disruption

Contraindications

Do not use if:

• Pregnant or breastfeeding

• Under 18 years old
