MOTS-c is a peptide produced by the mitochondrion (the cell’s “energy plant”). It is being studied for helping the body use energy more efficiently, by stimulating a pathway similar to the one activated by exercise and by metformin. As a result, it may support the use of fat for energy and improve the way muscles take up sugar (glucose). Key Benefits Insulin sensitivity: significantly improves how the body processes sugar, helping to counter insulin resistance. Weight management: supports fat oxidation and may help prevent weight gain caused by high-fat diets. Physical performance: increases endurance capacity and mitochondrial biogenesis (the creation of new cellular “power plants”). Longevity and anti-ageing: its replenishment is associated with protection against degenerative diseases. Bone health: studies suggest it may help prevent osteoporosis by promoting osteoblast differentiation.
