What users report
More gas every session
Endurance that improves
Carbs working for your muscle
Recovery that keeps up
More fuel in training, sessions that pay off and muscle that benefits: that is what users look for.
More gas every session
Users describe energy that lasts to the final set, session after session.
Reported over the weeks by users.
Endurance that improves
In the lab, it improved physical capacity at every age studied, even late in life (Reynolds, Nature Communications, 2021).
Carbs working for your muscle
In the lab, it activates AMPK, the energy sensor that exercise also activates: the cell takes up more glucose and uses more fat.
Recovery that keeps up
Users describe better-tolerated workouts and smoother recovery.
Reported over the weeks by users.
Laboratory research

People choose it to progress in training: more energy every session, more endurance, and carbs that go to the muscle.
What it is: A 16-amino-acid peptide discovered in 2015, encoded by mitochondrial DNA, that activates AMPK, the enzyme that exercise also activates.
Laboratory research
After exercise, blood levels of MOTS-c rise about 12-fold; when administered, it improved physical capacity at every age studied.
This 16-amino-acid peptide, discovered in 2015 at the University of Southern California, is encoded by the DNA of the mitochondria, not by the DNA of the nucleus.
Why people choose it:
- Endurance: it activates AMPK, the enzyme that exercise also activates; physical capacity improved even late in life (Nature Communications, 2021).
- Energy: users report steadier energy within one to two weeks.
- Blood sugar: it prevented insulin resistance and fat gain on a high-fat diet (Cell Metabolism, 2015).
- Longevity: a genetic variant of MOTS-c is associated with longevity (2015).
It is the only product in our catalogue encoded by mitochondrial DNA.

What to combine it with?
Pick one to three products: the text follows your combination.
The signal and the machinery
What each one brings
- MOTS-c : It activates AMPK, the enzyme that exercise also activates, and sets the pace of the mitochondria.
- SS-31 : It binds cardiolipin and holds in place the chain where the mitochondria make energy.
Why together
This is the pairing users cite most for cellular energy. MOTS-c directs metabolism, SS-31 protects the machinery that carries it out: two angles on the same mitochondria, through two pathways that do not overlap.
What adds up
- The signal that restarts energy use and the structure that produces it, covered at the same time.
- The endurance people look for with MOTS-c, and muscle strength, the measure on which the SS-31 molecule was approved in the United States.
- Steadier energy from day to day, the effect MOTS-c users report most.
In practice
Two pens, two protocols: each follows the one on its own page, within the same week.
When will I feel the effects?
Weeks 1 to 2
Daytime energy
According to users, daytime energy gets steadier within the first two weeks.
Weeks 3 to 4
Effort and recovery
Better-tolerated workouts and smoother recovery are often described between the third and the fourth week.
Weeks 5 to 6
Your figure
On an extended cycle, users report a waistline that starts to shift, together with exercise. Measure rather than guess.
Week 7 and up
Time to take stock
At the end of the cycle, between 4 and 8 weeks, compare with your starting notes, then take a break of similar length.
These timings vary from one person to the next. This timeline is a guide, not a promise.

Is it for me?
People choose it to progress in training: more energy every session, more endurance, and carbs that go to the muscle.
Not for you if:
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- Diabetes under treatment, without your prescriber's input.

- Minors.
Cycle length
A cycle lasts between 4 and 8 weeks, then a break at least as long as the cycle you did, never less than 4 weeks.
The number of pens for a full cycle, the dose ramp-up and the injection days are in your protocol, sent with your order.

Storage
Good for 6 and a half weeks after reconstitution, if it has been kept properly: in the fridge, away from light, with an alcohol swab on the tip before each use. Past that, we do not recommend using it, even if some is left; if the liquid turns cloudy or changes colour, do not use it, even before.
