5-Amino-1MQ 10 mg

5‑Amino‑1MQ (short for 5‑Amino‑1‑methylquinolinium) is not a traditional peptide, despite how it’s sometimes labeled by suppliers. Instead, it’s a small‑molecule metabolic modulator that’s primarily studied as a potent inhibitor of nicotinamide N‑methyltransferase (NNMT) — an enzyme involved in cellular energy, fat storage, and NAD⁺ metabolism. 

• Chemical nature: Small molecule (quinolinium derivative), not a long peptide chain.  
• Primary target: NNMT enzyme, which methylates nicotinamide and can influence how cells store fat and use energy.  
• Research status: Investigational compound intended for laboratory research only, not FDA‑approved for medical or dietary use.  

Effects on Metabolic Pathways

Laboratory research suggests NNMT inhibition may:

• Enhance fat oxidation
• Improve glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity
• Support mitochondrial efficiency
• Reduce adipose (fat) tissue expansion
  These findings come mainly from cell studies and animal models, not human clinical trials.
