MOTS-c
Mice only. No published human results.
Grade C: Animals and lab only
Looks good in rats or in a dish. Not proven in people.
The grade is for the use people talk about, not for every use. Filed under: Longevity.
How it works
A small peptide made by mitochondria, the power plants inside cells. Exercise raises your own levels.
How it was given in studies
No published human results for MOTS-c. A lab-made relative, CB4211, was injected under the skin in one early trial. No results were posted.
This is what the studies did. It is not a how-to. Source: Trial record on ClinicalTrials.gov.
What studies saw
Mice given it moved better. A related drug finished an early safety study in people, and no results were published.
The trade-off
We found no published results in people.
When it showed up, in studies
No published human results.
