MOTS-C

Research & Reconstitution Information

MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide, encoded within mitochondrial DNA. It has been studied for its role in activating AMPK signaling, and animal-model research has associated it with effects on insulin sensitivity, glucose metabolism, and resistance to diet-induced obesity (Cell Metabolism, 2015; Physiological Reports, 2019), and — in an aging-mouse model — exercise-induced physical performance and muscle homeostasis (Nature Communications, 2021), though those treatment effects were demonstrated in mice, not humans. Cited research uses rodent-model dosing, not a human-scale framework — there is no published study distinguishing outcomes at different commercial vial sizes. This vial's 10mg quantity reflects the identical compound at a different research-supply scale. Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water, swirl gently (do not shake), and store unreconstituted vials at 2-8°C short-term or -20°C for long-term storage. Refrigerate (2-8°C) once reconstituted and use within the period in our Peptide Guide. For laboratory research purposes only.

Certificate of Analysis

All products are independently tested by accredited third-party laboratories. Results confirm identity, purity, and potency.

How to Reconstitute

1. 1.Clean the vial top with an alcohol swab, then slowly release solvent along the inside wall of the vial — don't squirt directly onto the powder.
2. 2.Let it dissolve on its own for a few minutes. Swirl gently if needed — do not shake.
3. 3.Refrigerate (2-8°C) once reconstituted.
