The science behind its potential function.
Treatment in people are still being studied.
- About this peptide
- MOTS-c is a short chain of amino acids. The instructions for making it come from DNA in mitochondria, the parts of your cells that turn food into energy.
- Potential function
MOTS-c is being studied for its potential role in improving how the body uses energy, regulating blood sugar, and supporting physical endurance. Early laboratory and animal research suggests it may help muscles use energy more efficiently and adapt to exercise, although these benefits have not been established in humans.
