Another researcher told me that maybe we're not going to find that many peptides.

He thought it's more like 20,000, maybe 30,000.

But still, that's a lot of peptides.

And one of the peptides that Hasi's team has discovered completely bolted into internet fame.

Motsi.

That's right.

The peptide from the start of the show that people are going bananas for, saying that it's helping them lose weight and get energy.

It is one of the top five peptides that you should try to glow up for summer and flex on your ex.

Respectfully.

It's Hasi's baby.

Now, if you are racking your Yiddish trying to work out this one, it actually comes from a Hebrew prayer.

Motsi.

So, let's get into the science and find out if maybe you should start taking it.

So, when Hassi's team first discovered this little peptide, just 16 amino acids all strung together,

And one of the things that they did is put some mice on a high-fat diet, which would usually make them put on weight.

Then they injected some MOTC into them.

Whoa!

Fat in the liver can be dangerous.

It can muck up the liver itself, but it can also lead to things like stroke.

So the idea that this peptide could prevent that from happening, even when the mice were eating all these calories...
