{"product_id":"mots-c","title":"MOTS-C","description":"\u003cp\u003eMOTS-C is a 16-amino acid peptide (Met-Arg-Trp-Gln-Glu-Met-Gly-Tyr-Ile-Phe-Tyr-Pro-Arg-Lys-Leu-Arg) encoded within your own mitochondrial DNA. Discovered in 2015 by Changhan Lee’s team at USC’s Davis School of Gerontology, it belongs to a class of mitochondrial-derived peptides that act as signaling molecules between your mitochondria and the rest of the cell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike daily supplements that target one symptom of a slowing metabolism at a time, MOTS-C works upstream at the cellular-signaling level — activating AMPK, the body’s master metabolic switch, by inhibiting the folate cycle and driving AICAR accumulation. It signals directly to skeletal muscle to improve glucose uptake, enhance fat oxidation, and restore the metabolic efficiency that naturally declines with age. It is administered as a small subcutaneous injection, typically 3–5 times per week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat patients report during a cycle:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eImproved energy and stamina within the first few weeks\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBetter exercise performance, endurance, and recovery through weeks 6–8\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSubjective improvements in body composition, blood sugar stability, and overall metabolic well-being that build over 3–4 months of consistent use\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable strengths:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 mg\/mL × 5 mL vial (10 mg total) — \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003estandard cycle strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEvery MOTS-C prescription is reviewed by a licensed physician and dispensed through an FDA-registered, NABP- and LegitScript-accredited compounding pharmacy.
