99.4% PURITY
MITOCHONDRIAL LONGEVITY PEPTIDE
MOTS-C
10 mg vial · lyophilized
A 16-amino-acid peptide encoded within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene — one of the few peptides discovered to be produced by the mitochondria themselves. Investigated as a master regulator of metabolic homeostasis.
Half-Life
~3–4 hours
Storage
Lyophilized: 2–8 °C. Reconstituted: 2–8 °C, use within 30 days.

Metabolic and longevity researchers targeting mitochondrial efficiency and AMPK signaling.
Key things to know
- •Weekly or twice-weekly subcutaneous dosing is standard in research protocols.
- •Synergizes with caloric restriction or fasting protocols in animal models.
- •Endogenous levels decline with age — exogenous use restores youthful signaling.
- •Best paired with exercise to amplify mitochondrial biogenesis.
Research Highlights
- •MOTS-C levels decline with age and correlate with insulin resistance in human studies (Lee et al., Cell Metabolism 2015)
