Why Buy MOTS-c 10mg from Peptide Scientists

MOTS-c is one of the newest and most exciting peptides in metabolic research — the first identified mitochondrially-encoded peptide with hormone-like activity. Buying it online gives early access before clinical translation.

Sourced from Phiogen with ≥98% HPLC verification. 10mg vial covers standard research protocols at the cost-effective entry price point.

Stack with NAD+ and Epitalon for comprehensive longevity research, or with Retatrutide for metabolic studies.

About MOTS-c 10mg

MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c) is a 16-amino-acid peptide encoded within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene — discovered by Pinchas Cohen's lab at USC in 2015.

Mechanism: AMPK pathway activation, glucose uptake enhancement in skeletal muscle, fatty acid oxidation upregulation, and metabolic homeostasis. Often described as an 'exercise mimetic' due to its effects on muscle metabolism and insulin sensitivity.

Research applications: type 2 diabetes models, obesity studies, mitochondrial dysfunction research, and aging interventions. Plasma MOTS-c levels decline with age and correlate with metabolic dysfunction.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does MOTS-c actually do?
MOTS-c activates the AMPK metabolic pathway, increases glucose uptake in skeletal muscle, and enhances fatty acid oxidation. It's been called an 'exercise mimetic' because these effects parallel some adaptations to physical training.
Should I buy 10mg, 20mg, or 40mg?
10mg is the entry vial for trying MOTS-c. 20mg and 40mg offer better per-mg value for extended research protocols — the 40mg is the most cost-effective format if you're running multi-month studies.
Can MOTS-c be stacked with GLP-1 agonists?
Yes — MOTS-c works through AMPK activation while GLP-1 agonists work through appetite suppression and insulin sensitization. The mechanisms are complementary, with no known conflicts in research literature.
How is MOTS-c administered?
Subcutaneous injection is the standard research route. Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water and inject at 5-10mg per session, 2-3 times per week in published protocols.
