About MOTS-c

MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c) is a 16-amino-acid peptide encoded within mitochondrial DNA — one of the few known mitochondrial-derived peptides with systemic hormonal effects. Discovered in 2015 at USC, MOTS-c acts as an exercise mimetic, improving metabolic flexibility, insulin sensitivity, and skeletal muscle function. Circulating MOTS-c declines sharply with age, and supplementation has become a pillar of longevity-focused peptide protocols alongside NAD+ and epithalon.
