What it is, what people take it for, and what the research actually shows, in plain language.
Research stage: Early human research
What is MOTS-c?
A peptide encoded in the mitochondrial genome, discovered in 2015.
What do people take MOTS-c for?
Metabolism, exercise performance, "exercise in a vial".
What does the research show about MOTS-c?
Real metabolic effects in mice and correlations with exercise and metabolic states in people. No completed interventional trials of taking it.
Is MOTS-c right for me?
That depends on your history, your labs and your goals, which is a conversation for a physician rather than a web page. At Aether Medicine in King of Prussia, near Philadelphia, or by video for patients in Pennsylvania, a physician-led evaluation looks at all three to find out whether MOTS-c, or something else, is right for you.
