Exercise in a Peptide.
12-week mitochondrial optimization protocol backed by 6 studies from the Lee and Kim research programs
MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA Type-c) is a 16-amino acid peptide encoded within the mitochondrial genome — one of only a handful of mitochondria-derived peptides (MDPs) discovered in the last decade. First characterized by Changhan Lee's laboratory at USC in 2015, MOTS-c has been called an 'exercise mimetic' for its ability to activate AMPK, improve glucose metabolism, and enhance metabolic homeostasis in a manner that mimics the molecular effects of physical exercise.

Dr. Changhan Lee
Assistant Professor, USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology
Discovered MOTS-c in 2015. Director of the Mitochondrial and Microbiome Medicine Lab at USC. Pioneer in mitochondria-derived peptide research.
MOTS-c is the first mitochondrial-encoded peptide shown to regulate nuclear gene expression and metabolism. It essentially acts as a mitochondrial signal that tells the rest of the cell — and the body — to improve metabolic fitness.
Research dosing in mice: 5 mg/kg IP, 3x per week. Translational human equivalent doses under investigation. The peptide's exercise-mimetic properties are most relevant for metabolically stressed populations.

Protocolo de Dosificación
3 FasesRégimen de dosificación paso a paso compilado de profesionales líderes e investigación clínica.
Start at lower frequency to assess tolerance. Administer in the morning 30-60 minutes before exercise for optimal metabolic synergy. MOTS-c mimics exercise pathways, so pairing with actual training amplifies effects.
Increased frequency for maximum AMPK activation and metabolic optimization. Monitor fasting glucose and insulin sensitivity. Energy improvements and body composition changes typically become noticeable.
Reduced frequency for long-term maintenance. Can continue indefinitely or cycle 12 weeks on, 4 weeks off. Combine with regular exercise and metabolic monitoring.
Add 1 mL bacteriostatic water to 10 mg vial = 10 mg/mL. For 5 mg dose, draw 0.5 mL (50 units on insulin syringe).
12 weeks on, 4 weeks off for standard cycling. Some practitioners advocate continuous use given MOTS-c's endogenous nature. Monitor metabolic markers (fasting glucose, HbA1c, insulin) to guide duration.
Lyophilized: -20°C for 24+ months. Reconstituted: 2-8°C, use within 30 days. MOTS-c is relatively stable but protect from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Morning administration preferred (30-60 min pre-exercise). Subcutaneous injection provides sustained absorption. MOTS-c works synergistically with exercise — do not use as an exercise replacement but as an amplifier.

MOTS-c addresses mitochondrial metabolic aging while Epithalon targets nuclear aging via telomerase. Together they cover the two major cellular aging axes.
Comprehensive longevity protocol targeting both metabolic fitness (MOTS-c/mitochondria) and genomic stability (Epithalon/telomeres). Addresses multiple hallmarks of aging simultaneously.

Both peptides target mitochondria through different mechanisms — MOTS-c as an endogenous signaling peptide and SS-31 as a membrane stabilizer.
Dual mitochondrial optimization: MOTS-c improves mitochondrial signaling and metabolic function while SS-31 repairs the physical mitochondrial membrane structure. Maximal bioenergetic restoration.

Both are mitochondria-derived peptides (MDPs). MOTS-c focuses on metabolic regulation while Humanin provides cytoprotection — complementary MDP signaling.
Complete MDP restoration: metabolic optimization (MOTS-c) plus cellular stress resistance and anti-apoptosis (Humanin). Restores the full mitochondrial-derived peptide signaling profile that declines with aging.

NAD+ is the essential cofactor for mitochondrial electron transport and sirtuins. MOTS-c's AMPK activation synergizes with NAD+-dependent metabolic pathways.
Amplified mitochondrial function: MOTS-c's AMPK activation increases endogenous NAD+ production, while exogenous NAD+ provides additional substrate for sirtuin-mediated metabolic optimization.
Especificaciones
Cómo Funciona MOTS-c
MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded by the 12S rRNA gene (MT-RNR1) that acts as a retrograde signaling molecule from mitochondria to the nucleus. It activates AMPK, enhancing glucose uptake and fatty acid oxidation in skeletal muscle. MOTS-c regulates the folate cycle and de novo purine biosynthesis, leading to AICAR accumulation and subsequent AMPK activation. It translocates to the nucleus under metabolic stress to regulate adaptive gene expression, functioning as an exercise mimetic at the molecular level.
