5 Amino 1mq, 5mg

5-Amino-1MQ (NNMT Inhibitor)

5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule agent, not a peptide. Specifically, it is a membrane-permeable inhibitor. Therefore, it targets an enzyme called NNMT (Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase). We offer a high-purity crystalline powder. Currently, researchers focus on its ability to “rev up” fat cells. So, it forces white fat to act more like brown fat. Thus, it is a top candidate for obesity and muscle preservation research.

How It Works

This compound fixes a metabolic “leak.” First, the NNMT enzyme naturally breaks down NAD+ precursors. Then, it stores them as fat. This means the cell loses energy and gains weight. 5-Amino-1MQ blocks this enzyme.

Consequently, two things happen. First, NAD+ levels rise significantly. Second, the metabolic rate increases. Unlike stimulants, it does not affect heart rate. Instead, it improves the efficiency of the cellular engine.

Furthermore, blocking NNMT helps muscle cells. Specifically, it activates satellite cells. As a result, it aids in the regeneration of aged or wasted muscle tissue.

Lab Uses

Frequently, labs use 5-Amino-1MQ. Mainly, they use it for diet-induced obesity models. This helps measure fat loss without changes in food intake. Next, researchers check for sarcopenia reversal. Specifically, they treat older models to see if muscle mass returns.

Moreover, it pairs perfectly with energy coenzymes. Labs often stack it with NAD+. See also: Synergistic Pairing: NAD+ for Cellular Fuel

Ideally, this stops the waste cycle. While 5-Amino-1MQ prevents the breakdown of energy, adding NAD+ boosts the total pool. Finally, this maximizes mitochondrial output.
