Here are some specific health benefits of MOTS-c:

• Improved Metabolism

Animal studies suggest that MOTS-c improves both insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism. This makes it a potentially effective treatment option for age-related metabolic conditions, such as type 2 diabetes.

• Mitochondrial Performance

Many age-related illnesses are associated with diminished mitochondrial function. MOTS-c optimizes mitochondrial function, helping to reduce the incidence of cellular damage and disease.

• Muscle Health

People tend to lose muscle mass as they age, resulting in a loss of mobility, strength, and balance over time. Studies indicate MOTS-c promotes the growth of muscle mass, as well as muscle endurance.

• Stress Resilience

Your body releases hormones like cortisol and adrenalin in response to stress. These hormones increase your heartrate and blood pressure to help your body address whatever is causing the stress. This is generally advantageous on a short term, periodic basis.

However…chronic stress exposes your body to these hormones for weeks, months, or even years at a time. This kind of long-term over-exposure to stress hormones is unhealthy and can lead to high blood pressure, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and other stress-related illnesses.

The more efficiently your cells can respond to stress, the less detrimental its effects are likely to be. MOTS-c appears to help cells adapt to stressors, which may in turn help to slow cellular aging.

• DNA Repair and Autophagy

Damage to DNA and other cellular components are significant contributors to the aging process. MOTS-c has been shown to support DNA repair. It may also help with autophagy-the process whereby cells remove components that are damaged or no longer working. DNA repair and autophagy both play important roles in limiting age-related cell damage.
