Mots-c

MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) that plays a role in cellular metabolism, stress response, and longevity. It is encoded within the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and has been studied for its potential benefits in metabolic regulation and overall health.

Description of MOTS-c

• Origin: Mitochondria-derived peptide

• Function: Regulates metabolic processes, influences mitochondrial function, and enhances cellular resilience to stress

• Mechanism: Activates AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase), which helps in energy balance, fat metabolism, and insulin sensitivity

Potential Benefits of MOTS-c

1. Metabolic Support

• Enhances insulin sensitivity

• Improves glucose metabolism

• Reduces fat accumulation

• Helps regulate energy levels

2. Anti-Aging & Longevity

• Activates cellular stress response mechanisms

• May extend lifespan by improving mitochondrial function

• Protects against age-related metabolic decline

3. Physical Performance & Muscle Function

• Enhances endurance and physical performance

• Supports muscle recovery and strength

• Helps combat muscle loss (sarcopenia) associated with aging

4. Cognitive & Neurological Benefits

• Supports brain health and cognitive function

• May reduce neuroinflammation and oxidative stress

• Potential neuroprotective effects in conditions like Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s

5. Cardiovascular Health

• Helps regulate blood pressure and circulation

• May reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases by improving metabolic function

6. Immune & Inflammation Regulation

• May modulate immune function

• Helps reduce systemic inflammation and oxidative stress

Potential Uses

• Managing metabolic disorders like obesity and diabetes

• Enhancing physical performance and recovery

• Anti-aging and longevity interventions

• Supporting cognitive and cardiovascular health
