Awaiting FDA Reclassification

MOTS-c Therapy

The Exercise Mimetic Peptide

MOTS-c is a mitochondria-derived peptide that regulates metabolic homeostasis. Often called an 'exercise mimetic,' it activates AMPK — the same metabolic pathway triggered by physical exercise — and has shown promise for insulin sensitivity and fat metabolism.

Pending FDA Reclassification

MOTS-c is currently classified as a Category 2 peptide by the FDA, meaning it cannot yet be compounded by US pharmacies for patient use. In February 2026, HHS signaled intent to reclassify up to 14 peptides back to Category 1 — which would allow licensed compounding pharmacies to prepare them under physician prescription. We are closely monitoring this process.

Why MOTS-c?

What the research says about Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c

M

Metabolic Optimization

MOTS-c activates AMPK, a master metabolic regulator, promoting glucose uptake and fat oxidation in a way that mimics some of the metabolic benefits of exercise.

I

Insulin Sensitivity

Research indicates MOTS-c may improve insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism, with potential applications for metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes prevention.

E

Exercise Performance

Studies suggest MOTS-c may enhance physical performance and endurance by optimizing cellular energy production and mitochondrial function.

L

Longevity & Aging

As a mitochondrial peptide that declines with age, MOTS-c supplementation may address age-related metabolic decline and support healthy aging.

Who is MOTS-c For?

Individuals focused on metabolic health, those with insulin resistance concerns, athletes seeking performance optimization, and people interested in longevity science.
