MOTS-c
2 mg/mL, 5 mL vial
MOTS-c is a small peptide made by mitochondria, the energy centers of cells, and it is studied for metabolism, energy and healthy aging. Most of the research is in animals and cells; human studies so far measure natural MOTS-c levels rather than proving benefits from taking it. MOTS-c is $285 a month or $575 a quarter.
