MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) encoded within the mitochondrial genome that improves cellular energy metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and exercise capacity through AMPK activation and metabolic regulation
BPC-157 is a peptide originally discovered in gastric proteins and studied for its role in supporting tissue repair, cellular integrity, and the body's natural recovery processes
