MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid peptide encoded in the mitochondrial genome. Mitochondria play a critical role in the generation of metabolic energy and is responsible for most of the useful energy derived from the breakdown of carbohydrates and fatty acids, which is converted to ATP.
The peptide has been researched extensively in the last few years due to its therapeutic potential, with no shortage of complex research documentation available for reading. Research to date has shown this peptide plays important roles in metabolism, weight regulation, exercise capacity, insulin sensitivity, longevity, anti aging, and even processes leading to disease states like osteoporosis.
