MOTS-c Peptide Therapy in Redding, CA

Individually Tailored

How It Works

A peptide made by your own mitochondria.

MOTS-c is a peptide encoded in your mitochondrial DNA, the part of your cells that makes energy. Research has focused on metabolic regulation, insulin sensitivity and exercise capacity, much of it in animals so far, so it draws people working on metabolic health and fitness.

It's typically given as a self-administered injection. It's also available combined with Tesamorelin and Ipamorelin in our Metabolic Optimization Blend, or with AOD-9604 and Tesamorelin in our Fat Burner Blend.

MOTS-c FAQs

Have another MOTS-c question? Text us at (530) 201-2665.

Is MOTS-c FDA-approved?

Not FDA-approved. Compounded. Status as of October 2026. We update this page when that changes.

What is it used for?

Mostly metabolic health and exercise capacity. Researchers are still studying both, much of it in animals.

How is it taken?

As a self-administered injection. We set your dose at your consult.

Can I combine it with another peptide?

Yes. It's in both our Metabolic Optimization Blend and our Fat Burner Blend.

Is it safe?

Most people notice only mild redness or irritation where they inject. Large human safety trials haven't been done, so long-term effects aren't known. We go over your health history before you start.

Who shouldn't take MOTS-c?

Skip it if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, since there's no safety data for either. If your main goal is weight loss, GLP-1 medications have far more evidence behind them; see our weight loss page. If you take insulin or other blood-sugar medication, tell us at your consult.

Metabolism goals? Start with a call.

In a free 30-minute consult, by phone Monday through Friday or in the Studio on Tuesday or Thursday, we'll compare MOTS-c, the Metabolic Optimization Blend and, if weight loss is the main goal, GLP-1 options.
