5-Amino-1MQ – 50mg
Overview
5-Amino-1MQ is a small molecule that functions as a potent inhibitor of the enzyme nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT). NNMT is involved in metabolic regulation and has been linked to increased fat storage and reduced cellular energy output. Inhibiting this enzyme with 5-Amino-1MQ has shown promising results in preclinical models related to fat loss, muscle regeneration, and improved metabolic health.
How It Works
5-Amino-1MQ interferes with NNMT activity, which has downstream effects on cellular NAD⁺ levels. NAD⁺ is essential for mitochondrial energy production and efficient fat metabolism. By elevating intracellular NAD⁺ levels, 5-Amino-1MQ may enhance fat oxidation and reduce adipose tissue accumulation. This pathway is being actively explored in research focused on weight regulation, aging, and metabolic disorders.
Research Focus Areas
- Weight Loss & Fat Reduction
In studies, 5-Amino-1MQ has been linked to decreased fat storage and shrinkage of adipocytes, with noticeable weight reduction in models without altering food intake. - Metabolism & Energy Balance
NNMT inhibition can lead to improved metabolic rate and enhanced energy production, contributing to overall metabolic efficiency. - Muscle Growth & Regeneration
Early findings suggest 5-Amino-1MQ may activate satellite cells and muscle stem cells, supporting muscle repair and growth—particularly relevant in age-related muscle decline. - Insulin Sensitivity & Glucose Control
Research indicates potential improvements in glucose tolerance and insulin response through NNMT modulation, especially in models of diet-induced obesity and metabolic dysfunction.
