Cold-chain dispatched within 1–3 business days from Abu Dhabi. UAE delivery 1–3 days; GCC 3–5 days; international 7–21 days where lawful. Free UAE delivery on orders over AED 900.

Quality & testing

Sealed lyophilized peptide powder under inert atmosphere. No fillers, no flow agents, no excipients beyond the standard lyo cake matrix. Each batch is independently lab-tested for purity (HPLC), identity (mass spec), heavy metals, and microbial load. Batch-matched Certificates of Analysis are available on request to verified buyers, email [email protected] with your order number.

Storage & handling

Lyophilized vials are stable at room temperature in the original packaging. Once reconstituted, store refrigerated (2–8°C) and use within the compound's stability window. The Dosage Calculator notes per-compound stability.

— Why this compound

A 16-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide. The molecule research uses to model nuclear-mitochondrial communication.

— How it works

Mechanism & pathways

MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading frame of the Twelve S rRNA-c) is a peptide encoded within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene. Research describes the molecule as a mitochondrial-derived signaling peptide with effects on metabolic homeostasis, AMPK pathway activation, and nuclear gene expression.

What the literature looks at

Research-framed mechanisms studied for this compound. Citations below describe published work; they do not represent product claims.

Mitochondrial-derived signaling

First identified peptide encoded by the mitochondrial genome with active signaling role.

AMPK pathway activation

Studies report AMPK activation with metabolic-research effects similar to AICAR.

Insulin sensitivity

Animal models measure improved insulin sensitivity markers in research-protocol populations.

Age-related decline

Plasma MOTS-c levels decline with age, generating research interest in restoration.

— Operational notes

Reconstitution & protocol

  1. 01

    Reconstitute

    Add bacteriostatic water to the lyophilized vial along the wall, never directly onto the cake. Swirl gently, do not shake. Powder should fully dissolve into a clear solution.

  2. 02

    Store

    Refrigerate (2–8 °C) immediately after reconstitution. Keep upright in the original packaging away from light. Lyophilized vials stay stable at room temperature in their original sealed packaging.

  3. 03

    Protocol window

    Use within the compound stability window noted on the COA. Protocols vary by compound, see the Dosage Calculator for per-compound timing and the Ingredient Library entry for research-grade reference ranges.

  4. 04

    Stability

    Reconstituted shelf life is compound-specific. Discard the vial if the solution shows visible cloudiness, particulates, or color change. The Calculator notes per-compound stability windows.

— Frequently asked

Questions, answered.

Are your products safe?

Every batch is independently tested for purity, identity, heavy metals, and microbial contamination before it ships. Formulations use clinical-evidence doses, not under-doses dressed up as a "complex". For any specific medical concern, please consult a qualified healthcare professional.

How fast does delivery arrive in the UAE?

Most UAE orders arrive within 1–3 business days. Cold-chain dispatched, discreet packaging. Cash on Delivery is available across the UAE if you'd rather not share card details online.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes, where lawful. GCC countries typically arrive in 3–5 business days; further international destinations in 7–21 days depending on customs. Buyers are responsible for confirming legality of import in their jurisdiction.

Is the checkout secure?

Yes. The site uses bank-level encryption end to end. Payments run through Ziina (UAE-licensed) and Tabby (regulated BNPL); we never see card data on our servers. Cash on Delivery is also available across the UAE.

Will my order arrive discreetly?

Yes. Outer packaging is unmarked, with no NuroCore branding, no compound names, and no health-product references. Just a plain shipping carton. Your privacy is part of the product.
