MOTS-c is a peptide that occurs naturally and is encoded in our mitochondrial DNA. Studies have demonstrated that MOTS-c exhibits potent anti-aging and neuroprotective properties, making it a promising target for therapeutic applications. Paradigm Peptides offers synthetic MOTS-c peptide for purchase, which is of the highest purity and potency.

MOTS-c is a protein complex that is active in mitochondria and functions as a riboprotein that aids in the translation of mitochondrial mRNA in mtDNA. The loss of metabolic homeostasis as we age impedes various functions, leading to a decline in physical abilities. Research suggests that physical activity can increase MOTS-c levels in the body.

Synthetic MOTS-c has been shown to enhance mitochondrial communication and energy regulation, aiding in metabolism, weight regulation, and exercise longevity. In a clinical study on mice, MOTS-c demonstrated the ability to reverse age-dependent insulin resistance in various muscles, potentially improving the body's muscle uptake of glucose. It has also shown promise in reducing adipose tissue, preventing adipose dysfunction and inflammation, and protecting against age and diet-dependent insulin resistance and obesity.
