What is 5-Amino-1MQ?
One of our weight loss options is called 5-AMINO-1MQ, which is a Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) inhibitor that has been shown to reverse diet-induced obesity. NNMT is a cytosolic enzyme. People with higher levels of NNMT have been associated with obesity and type-2 diabetes. 5-AMINO-1MQ has now been identified to have a key role in cellular metabolism and energy homeostasis and, therefore, weight loss.
According to research, mice given 5-amino-1MQ showed a 7% reduction in body mass without any changes in food intake compared to controls.
Benefits of 5-Amino-1MQ
- Reverses Diet-Induced Obesity
- Prevent Fat Cell Production & Storage
- Promotes a Decrease in White Adipose Tissue
- Combats Parkinson’s & Type 2 Diabetes
- Improves Cholesterol
- Reduces Fat Cell Size
Side effects can include:
The great thing about the 5-Amino-1MQ peptide is that its function is to select a target, which effectively minimizes any side effects you might experience. Peptides are unlikely to have any side effects on reasonably healthy people. Other side effects are less common, but you could still experience breakouts on your skin, low energy, and difficulty sleeping.
How 5-Amino-1MQ Works
Studies indicate that the enzyme NNMT slows down the process at which our bodies metabolize fat cells. Most people have difficulty losing weight, and when this enzyme is elevated, the process of losing excess fat becomes even more challenging. The extra weight increases the NNMT enzyme, leading to slower fat metabolism, which then leads to excess weight gain.
It is a vicious cycle, unfortunately. Research suggests a potent NNMT inhibitor, “5-amino-1mq,” significantly reduced body weight and white adipose mass, decreased adipocyte size, and lowered plasma total cholesterol levels. This may be the approach you need to finally lose those stubborn pounds and get your weight under control.
Dosage
5-AMINO-1MQ is supplied in 50 mg tablets. Dosage can range from 50-150 mg per day. Typical dosing is to take 1-3 capsules by mouth daily.
It is also advisable to take a four-week break from the treatment every two months.
The History of 5-Amino-1MQ
5-amino-1MQ is a small molecule that blocks the activity of the enzyme called nicotinamide N-methyltransferase NNMT, which is a very important component in metabolism and energy and is predominantly active in fat tissue. By blocking NNMT, 5-amino-1MQ stimulates an increase in nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), a cofactor that is central to cellular metabolism, thereby increasing metabolic rate and activating a gene called sirtuin-1 (SIRT1). SIRT1 is also known as the “longevity gene” because it reduces the risk of diabetes, obesity, metabolic syndrome, atherosclerosis, and other forms of cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, liver disease, neurodegeneration, and cancer. Research has shown that decreasing NNMT may help shrink fat cells and deposits. NNMT and its interactions with the sugar transporter GLUT4 may be the link that scientists have been searching for to reduce insulin resistance and inflammation, leading to improved risk profiles for events like heart attack and stroke.

5-Amino-1MQ is an NNMT inhibitor. NNMT is the main enzyme in our bodies responsible for slowing down the rate at which fat cells are metabolized for energy. By blocking this enzyme, 5-Amino-1MQ makes it easier to burn fat while simultaneously maintaining or even building muscle. This molecule has also shown the ability to promote muscle satellite cell proliferation meaning that it can build muscle even in a restricted calorie environment.
No. The great thing about the 5-Amino-1MQ peptide is that its function is to select a target, which effectively minimizes any side effects you might experience. Peptides are unlikely to have any side effects on healthy people, and if you do experience any, they would be fairly minor. The most common side effects include headache, dizziness, nausea or bloating, gas, low energy, cold symptoms, and difficulty sleeping.
You should start seeing and feeling a difference within two weeks with increased energy levels and better physical tone. However, it can take up to 12 weeks for any substantial amount of weight to be lost. The amount of weight you will lose when using 5-amino-1MQ will depend on various factors, including your exercise regime and eating habits. Taking 5-amino-1MQ peptides will improve your ability to burn fat and lose weight permanently, as it can reverse obesity and also prevent it.
Dosage can range from 50-150 mg per day. Typical dosing is to take 1-3 50 mg capsules by mouth daily. (It is also advisable to take a four-week break from the treatment every two months.)
