Mots-C

MOTS-c is a naturally occurring mitochondrial peptide designed to help your body optimize energy, metabolism, and overall vitality. By supporting fat burning, improving insulin sensitivity, and enhancing cellular energy production, MOTS-c helps individuals manage weight more effectively, maintain muscle and bone health, and feel more energized throughout the day. Unlike conventional approaches, it works at the cellular level, helping your body perform smarter and more efficiently — unlocking a healthier, more vibrant version of you.

What is MOTS-c?
MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c) is a naturally occurring peptide encoded by mitochondrial DNA. Unlike most proteins, which are encoded by nuclear DNA, MOTS-c originates from the mitochondria—the energy powerhouses of our cells. This unique origin positions MOTS-c as a key regulator of cellular energy metabolism and stress responses.

What Is It Used For?
While MOTS-c is still under investigation and not yet approved for general medical use, early research suggests it holds promise in:
•    Improving Insulin Sensitivity: Enhancing the body's ability to utilize glucose, potentially benefiting individuals with insulin resistance.
•    Supporting Weight Management: By influencing energy metabolism, MOTS-c may aid in reducing obesity.
•    Enhancing Muscle Function: Potentially improving muscle strength and endurance, especially in aging populations.
•    Promoting Bone Health: Early studies indicate MOTS-c may play a role in bone metabolism.
•    Modulating Immune Responses: Suggesting a potential role in immune system regulation.

Benefits
•    Metabolic Regulation: MOTS-c activates the AMPK pathway, a cellular energy sensor, leading to improved glucose uptake and fat oxidation.
•    Exercise Mimicry: Levels of MOTS-c increase during physical activity, indicating its role in exercise-induced metabolic adaptations.
•    Potential Anti-Aging Effects: By enhancing mitochondrial function, MOTS-c may contribute to healthier aging processes.
•    Muscle and Bone Health: Preliminary studies suggest MOTS-c may help maintain muscle mass and support bone density.

Risks and Side Effects
As a research peptide, MOTS-c has not undergone extensive clinical trials in humans. Therefore, its safety profile is not fully established. Reported side effects are minimal but may include:
•    Mild Fatigue: Temporary tiredness during initial use.
•    Nausea or Headache: Occasional mild gastrointestinal discomfort or headaches.
Long-term effects and potential risks remain unknown, underscoring the importance of using MOTS-c under clinical supervision within approved research settings.

How Is It Used?
•    Administration: MOTS-c is typically administered via subcutaneous injection.
•    Dosage: Specific dosing regimens are still under investigation and vary based on ongoing clinical trials.
•    Monitoring: Patients participating in MOTS-c studies are closely monitored for efficacy and safety outcomes.

How It’s Generally Used 
•    Form: Subcutaneous (under-the-skin) injection — Common, easy self-administered sites:
o    Abdomen (belly) — the most commonly recommended site.
    Inject into the fatty area at least 2 inches (5 cm) away from the navel.
    The abdomen tends to be less painful and gives consistent absorption.

Do not inject into areas with scars, bruises, irritation, infection, moles, or inflamed skin.
•    Dosing:
o    Draw up 0.5ml on the syringe and inject subcutaneously 2 times per week (evenly spaced in days)
