What it is

MOTS-c is encoded in the mitochondrial genome and signals via AMPK. Animal studies show improved insulin sensitivity, exercise capacity, and resistance to age-related metabolic decline.

Mechanism

Mitochondrial-derived peptide. Activates AMPK, improves insulin sensitivity and mitochondrial function.

Outcomes it's matched to
Safety

Limited human safety data; well tolerated anecdotally.
