Short answer
MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid peptide encoded in mitochondrial DNA. In mice it improved insulin sensitivity, reduced diet-induced weight gain and improved exercise capacity, and human blood levels correlate with age and metabolic health. Human interventional evidence is very limited: an analogue (CB4211) reached early-phase clinical testing for fatty liver and obesity. Claims of fat loss, endurance or longevity in people therefore rest mainly on animal data. MOTS-c is not approved for any use, and products sold online are unregulated.
