MOTS-c
The Mitochondrial Supercharger.
Often referred to as "Exercise in a Bottle," MOTS-c is a unique mitochondrial-derived peptide that targets metabolic function at the cellular level. Unlike typical hormones, it acts as a signaling molecule to regulate metabolism, energy production, and insulin sensitivity. It is widely explored for its ability to mimic the physiological effects of endurance exercise, making it a favorite for metabolic optimization and weight management research.
Key Benefits:
-
Mimics Exercise Effects: Promotes metabolic benefits similar to intense endurance training.
-
Enhances Insulin Sensitivity: Aids in glucose regulation and improves carbohydrate metabolism.
-
Boosts Physical Performance: Supports increased endurance and resistance to fatigue.
-
Metabolic Regulation: Assists in managing weight and combating metabolic slowdown.
How It Works: MOTS-c activates the AMPK pathway—the body’s "master switch" for metabolism—which normally triggers during physical activity. This signals muscle cells to uptake glucose and burn fatty acids for energy, essentially upgrading the body's energy efficiency and metabolic flexibility even in the absence of strenuous activity.
