How it works
MOTS-c is a small peptide encoded within mitochondrial DNA that is studied for its role in metabolic regulation. Preclinical research suggests it may activate AMPK signalling, improve insulin sensitivity and support metabolic homeostasis, particularly under metabolic stress. Human clinical evidence is limited and early-stage.
