How It Works
5-Amino-1MQ inhibits NNMT, an enzyme that is overexpressed in adipose tissue and linked to obesity. By blocking NNMT, it increases NAD+ and SAM (S-adenosyl methionine) levels in fat cells, boosting energy expenditure and reducing fat storage. It effectively shrinks fat cells rather than just emptying them.
Key Research Findings
- Shown to reduce fat cell size and body weight in animal studies without affecting food intake
- Increases NAD+ levels, supporting cellular energy metabolism
- Research suggests potential to reverse diet-induced obesity
- Does not cross the blood-brain barrier, limiting CNS side effects

Follow these steps to properly reconstitute 5-Amino-1MQ for research use:
- Step 1: Swab the tops of both the peptide vial and bacteriostatic water vial with alcohol.
- Step 2: Draw your desired amount of BAC water (commonly 1–2 mL) into an insulin syringe.
- Step 3: Inject the water slowly into the peptide vial, aiming at the glass wall — not directly onto the powder.
- Step 4: Swirl the vial gently until fully dissolved — never shake.
- Step 5: Refrigerate at 36–46°F (2–8°C). Use within 4–6 weeks.
