About
An oral capsule containing 5-Amino-1MQ, a small molecule inhibitor of the enzyme NNMT, designed to boost metabolism and reduce fat storage.
Mechanism of Action
5-Amino-1MQ inhibits nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), an enzyme that increases with age and in obesity. By blocking NNMT, it increases the NAD+ salvage pathway, boosting cellular NAD+ levels, increasing metabolic rate, and making it more difficult for the body to store fat.
Key Benefits
- Inhibits the NNMT enzyme
- Boosts metabolic rate and energy expenditure
- Reduces the body's ability to store fat
- May improve cellular health by increasing NAD+
Clinical Research
Research in animal models has shown that inhibiting NNMT with compounds like 5-Amino-1MQ can prevent diet-induced obesity and improve metabolic health.
Potential Side Effects
Well-tolerated in research with no significant adverse effects noted.
Usage & Dosage
Administered orally. Research is ongoing to determine optimal human dosage protocols.
Peptide Storage
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
