5-AMINO-1MQ 10 mg

5-Amino-1-methylquinolinium (5-Amino-1MQ) is a small-molecule compound primarily researched as a selective inhibitor of the enzyme nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT).

Key Functions and Mechanisms

• Metabolism & Fat Loss: By blocking NNMT, 5-Amino-1MQ helps increase cellular levels of NAD+, which is critical for energy production. This shift encourages cells to burn fat for fuel rather than store it, potentially reducing the size of fat cells and visceral fat without affecting appetite.

• Muscle Preservation: Research indicates it may help prevent age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia) and support muscle repair by improving mitochondrial function within muscle tissue.

• Anti-Aging Synergy: It is often paired with NAD+ to slow down the depletion of NAD+, potentially enhancing longevity and cellular repair.

Practical Details

• Administration: It is most commonly available as an oral capsule (typically 50mg) or via subcutaneous injection.

• Regulatory Status: 5-Amino-1MQ is not FDA-approved for human consumption and is currently classified as a research chemical.

• WADA Status: It is banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) under the S0 category of non-approved substances, making it prohibited for competitive athletes.

• Side Effects: Reported mild effects include temporary digestive changes, headaches, and transient muscle soreness.
