MOTS-C

MOTS-c, a 16 amino acid mitochondrial derived peptide, is encoded from the 12S rRNA region of the mitochondrial genome. Under stress conditions, MOTS-c translocates to the nucleus where it regulates a wide range of genes in response to metabolic dysfunction. MOTS-c not only functions as a cell-autonomous peptide but also affects a number of pathological metabolic processes in the body by acting similarly to a hormone, including insulin resistance reduction, obesity prevention, muscle function improvement, bone metabolism promotion, immune regulation enhancement, and aging postponement. 

Benefits of MOTS-C: 
. Body fat reduction by boosting mitochondrial function. 
.Stimulate glucose utilization. 
.Increased energy and reduction in appetite. 
.Reduced fat accumulation as a result of robust carbohydrate usage that reduces fatty acid synthesis and involvement of increased fatty acid oxidation.
