5-Amino-1MQ

5-Amino-1MQ is a small molecule inhibitor of the enzyme NNMT (Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase). By blocking NNMT, it increases NAD+ levels and metabolic rate, making it a potent agent for fat loss and longevity.

Mechanism of Action

It inhibits NNMT, an enzyme that consumes NAD+ and is upregulated in fat tissue. Inhibition leads to higher NAD+ levels, increased sirtuin activity, and enhanced metabolic rate without stimulating the nervous system.

Key Benefits

Significant fat loss (white adipose tissue)
Increases cellular NAD+ levels
Improves muscle function and recovery
No stimulant effects (jitters/heart rate)
Potential anti-aging properties

Research Protocol
