Overview
5-Amino-1MQ is a small molecule popular in the peptide/longevity community. It inhibits NNMT, an enzyme that’s overactive in fat tissue and linked to slowed metabolism. Blocking it may raise cellular NAD+ and encourage fat cells to burn more energy. It’s usually taken orally.
How it’s thought to work
- Inhibits nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) in fat and muscle.
- May increase NAD+ and cellular energy expenditure.
Researched uses
- Fat loss and metabolic research
- Longevity and muscle-function studies
Commonly cited protocol
| Typical dose | ~50–150 mg |
|---|---|
| Frequency | Daily |
| Route | Oral (capsule) |
| Notes | Usually a capsule, not an injection. |
Reconstitution
Typically an oral capsule, so reconstitution/syringe math does not apply.
Cautions
- Not approved; human data are limited.
- A research chemical, not a peptide.
- Long-term safety unknown.
