from $279/mo
What it is
A considered protocol.
MOTs-C is a peptide that originates within the mitochondria — the parts of your cells that produce energy. It is used to support cellular energy production, metabolic balance, and exercise capacity, which makes it of interest to people focused on stamina and metabolic health. At Orvo, MOTs-C is compounded in a U.S. pharmacy and reviewed individually by a licensed U.S. provider.
How it works
The mechanism, plainly.
MOTs-C works at the level of your cells' energy centers, the mitochondria.
A signal from your cells
MOTs-C is a naturally occurring peptide that helps signal how cells produce and use energy, which may support your metabolism.
Supporting energy and activity
It is used to support the way muscles use fuel during activity, which may help with stamina and exercise capacity.
Reviewed for your goals
Your provider considers your activity level and health history and can adjust the plan as your response becomes clear.
