MOTS-C
Endurance & MetabolismMetabolic regulation, insulin sensitivity improvement, and exercise mimetic effects.
Athletic Mechanism of Action
Mitochondria-derived peptide that activates AMPK and FOXO1 to regulate glucose metabolism and act as an exercise mimetic.
For athletes, the primary value of MOTS-C lies in its ability to metabolic regulation, insulin sensitivity improvement, and exercise mimetic effects.. This mechanism is particularly relevant during high-volume training phases when tissue repair demand exceeds the body's natural recovery capacity.
Recovery Timeline
4–8 weeks for endurance improvements
Individual response varies based on injury severity, training load, and baseline health markers.
WADA Compliance Status
Limited human safety data. Well tolerated in animal models.
Always verify current WADA status with your sport's governing body before use in competition.
