§ Frequently asked

Common questions about MOTS-c

What is MOTS-c?
MOTS-c is a 16-residue peptide encoded within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene. It is studied as an exercise-mimetic exerkine for metabolic health, insulin sensitivity, and longevity-relevant endpoints in preclinical research.
Is MOTS-c FDA-approved?
No. MOTS-c is not approved for clinical use by the FDA, MHRA, Health Canada, or the TGA. Research-peptide vendors sell it for laboratory research only.
What is the half-life of MOTS-c?
Published rodent studies report a circulating half-life of roughly 1–2 hours, with exercise-induced peaks returning to baseline within about 4 hours after activity.
What dose of MOTS-c is used in research?
Doses reported in published preclinical studies vary substantially by species, route, and metabolic endpoint. Pepticker does not publish a dosing protocol — refer to the original study you are reproducing.
Is MOTS-c the same as a GLP-1 agonist?
No. MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide that signals through pathways distinct from the GLP-1 axis. It is positioned in research as an exercise-mimetic rather than as a GLP-1-class metabolic compound.
Is MOTS-c legal?
MOTS-c is sold for research use in the US, Canada, and the UK. In Australia it is TGA Schedule 4 and personal import is tightly controlled. Status is informational — not legal advice.
