Boost Cellular Energy, Metabolism & Exercise Performance with Boise Biologics Regenerative Medicine
MOTS-c is a cutting-edge mitochondrial peptide that helps your cells produce energy more efficiently, supports healthy metabolism, and may improve physical performance and insulin sensitivity. At our Boise clinic, MOTS-c therapy is offered as part of a personalized, physician-guided peptide program for patients across the Treasure Valley.
MOTS-c (mitochondrial open reading frame of the 12S rRNA type-c) is a naturally occurring mitochondrial-derived peptide — a small protein encoded within your mitochondria, the energy-producing centers of your cells. Unlike many peptides that act on a single pathway, MOTS-c functions as a metabolic regulator that communicates between your mitochondria and the rest of your body.
Research suggests MOTS-c plays a key role in energy metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and exercise capacity. It activates the AMPK pathway — the same cellular “master switch” triggered by exercise and fasting — helping your body use glucose and fat for fuel more efficiently. As we age, natural MOTS-c levels decline, which is why supplementation is being explored to support metabolic health, stamina, and healthy aging.
Patients across Boise and the Treasure Valley are exploring MOTS-c peptide therapy to support:
Enhanced Metabolism & Fat Utilization
MOTS-c helps your cells burn glucose and fat more efficiently by activating AMPK, supporting healthy weight management and metabolic flexibility.
Improved Insulin Sensitivity
By promoting better glucose uptake, MOTS-c may help maintain healthy blood sugar levels and support patients focused on metabolic wellness.
Increased Energy & Stamina
As a mitochondrial peptide, MOTS-c targets the root of cellular energy production, which may translate to improved daily energy and reduced fatigue. Many patients pair it with glutathione or MIC injections for added energy and metabolic support.
Better Exercise Performance & Recovery
MOTS-c mimics many of the metabolic benefits of exercise and may enhance physical capacity, endurance, and recovery — complementing recovery peptides like BPC-157 and TB-500.
Healthy Aging Support
Because natural MOTS-c levels decline with age, supplementation is being studied for its role in longevity and age-related metabolic decline.
MOTS-c therapy may be a good fit if you:
• Want to improve energy, stamina, and metabolic health
• Are focused on weight management and body composition
• Want to support healthy insulin sensitivity and blood sugar
• Are an active adult or athlete seeking better performance and recovery
• Are interested in longevity and healthy-aging strategies
• Prefer a physician-guided, personalized peptide protocol
A consultation at our Boise clinic determines whether MOTS-c is appropriate for your health profile and goals.

What does MOTS-c do?
MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide that supports cellular energy production, metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and exercise capacity by activating the AMPK pathway — the same metabolic switch triggered by exercise and fasting.
Is MOTS-c the same as Tesamorelin or Semaglutide?
No. MOTS-c is a mitochondrial peptide focused on cellular energy and metabolic regulation. Tesamorelin stimulates growth hormone to target stubborn fat, and Semaglutide is a GLP-1 medication for appetite and weight management. They can serve complementary roles in a personalized plan.
How is MOTS-c administered?
MOTS-c is most commonly given as a subcutaneous injection following a protocol designed by your provider at Boise Biologics.
How soon will I notice results?
Results vary by individual. Some patients report improved energy and stamina within a few weeks, while metabolic and body-composition changes typically develop over a longer, consistent protocol.
Is MOTS-c safe?
When prescribed and monitored by a qualified medical provider, MOTS-c is generally well tolerated. Your protocol is supervised to ensure safety and effectiveness.
