MOTS-C (10mg)

Mitochondrial-Derived Peptide – Energy, Metabolism & CellularPerformance

What It Is

MOTS-C is a naturally occurring peptide encoded within mitochondrial DNA. It helps regulate
metabolic balance, cellular energy production, and stress adaptation. Research shows MOTS-C
enhances the body’s ability to convert fuel into usable energy by activating AMPK — the master
switch for cellular metabolism.

Understanding MOTS-C — A Metaphorical Story
Imagine your body as a giant city.
Every cell is a house. Every house has a power plant in the basement — the mitochondria.That’s where the lights stay on, the heat works, and everything in the house runs smoothly.
But sometimes the city hits problems:
● The lights flicker during stress
● The power plants run low on fuel
● The workers get tired
● The streets get blocked with “metabolic traffic”
● Some houses can’t keep up

Now imagine a special emergency worker that lives inside the power plants — a tiny firefighter-engineer hybrid who only comes out when the city is struggling.

That worker is MOTS-C.

When things slow down, MOTS-C rushes out into the city and starts:

• Turning on backup generators (AMPK activation)
It flips the main switch that says:
“We’re low on energy — let’s start burning fuel efficiently and cleanly.”

• Clearing the streets (improving glucose use)
Traffic jams (inefficient fuel usage) disappear.

• Delivering fresh supplies (supporting metabolic flexibility)
Houses get the exact fuel they need so the lights stay bright.

• Motivating the workers (reducing fatigue & improving stress resilience)
The entire city feels more energized and coordinated.

• Strengthening the power plants (supporting mitochondrial function)
Repairs are made from the inside out — not just patchwork, but real upgrades.

The result:
The whole city runs smoother, cleaner, and with more energy — no matter the stress, weather,
or demands placed on it.
This is the simplest way to imagine how MOTS-C helps the body adapt, energize, and recover.

FAQs

Find answers to your most pressing questions about peptide categories and their usage.

 
What is MOTS-C? +
MOTS-C is a 16-amino-acid peptide encoded in the mitochondrial genome—a rare feature compared to most peptides, which come from the nuclear genome. Researchers often describe it as a “mitochondrial messenger,” helping cells adapt to stress and regulate energy processes.
Why do scientists study MOTS-C? +
MOTS-C is studied because of its potential involvement in metabolic regulation, cellular energy production, and stress responses. Think of it like a biochemical coach that helps cells stay efficient when the game gets tough.
How does MOTS-C relate to mitochondria? +
Mitochondria are the cell’s power plants, and MOTS-C is one of the few peptides made from mitochondrial DNA, not nuclear DNA. Researchers see it as a “courier” that delivers instructions to help maintain energy balance.
. What does the research say about MOTS-C and metabolism? +
Animal studies suggest MOTS-C may activate pathways tied to AMPK, a major cellular energy sensor. If AMPK is the thermostat for energy usage, MOTS-C could be the message that tells the thermostat when to turn on. (All findings refer to preclinical research models.)
Why is MOTS-C associated with exercise performance in research? +
Some rodent studies show improved endurance and metabolic efficiency, leading researchers to study whether MOTS-C behaves like a “metabolic tune-up”— optimizing how cells produce and burn energy during physical stress.
Is MOTS-C being studied for longevity research? +
Yes. Since mitochondrial health is a major theme in aging science, MOTS-C is researched as a type of internal “maintenance signal” that may help cells respond to metabolic strain. No claims are made for human longevity.
Does MOTS-C influence weight-related pathways? +
Preclinical research links MOTS-C to pathways that regulate glucose and fat metabolism. The best analogy: MOTS-C acts like a traffic light system that helps route fuel to the right places at the right time.
How does MOTS-C differ from other metabolic peptides like GLP-1 analogs? +
GLP-1 analogs work through hormonal pathways. MOTS-C interacts with cellular energy sensors. It’s the difference between adjusting the ingredients (hormones) vs tuning the engine (mitochondria) in a car.
What makes MOTS-C unique compared to peptides like BPC-157 or TB-500? +
BPC and TB are often studied for structural and tissue-related pathways. MOTS-C is studied for metabolic and mitochondrial processes. It’s like comparing construction tools to power tools—they serve different purposes in the lab.
What do we know about MOTS-C safety in research environments? +
Animal studies show a favorable safety profile at typical research dosages, but MOTS-C is not FDA-approved and not for human consumption. Research use only
How should MOTS-C be stored for lab use? +
Like most peptides, MOTS-C should be kept in a cool, dry, stable environment. Many researchers prefer freezing for long-term storage. Think of it like storing a rare blueprint—you keep it preserved so the details stay intact.
Is MOTS-C legal to purchase for research? +
Yes. MOTS-C is legal for laboratory research when sourced from reputable suppliers. Kaia offers MOTS-C strictly under research-use-only compliance with no claims of human use
