5-Amino-1MQ for Your Metabolism

5-Amino-1MQ is a small molecule compound that functions as an NNMT inhibitor. NNMT (nicotinamide N-methyltransferase) is an enzyme that plays a significant role in metabolism and energy balance. As we age, NNMT activity increases, which can slow down our metabolism, contribute to fat storage, and reduce cellular energy production. This metabolic slowdown is a key driver of an increased biological age, linking directly to weight gain, reduced vitality, and a higher risk of age-related diseases.

By inhibiting NNMT, 5-Amino-1MQ effectively blocks this metabolic slowdown. This action increases the levels of NAD+, a critical coenzyme for cellular energy, and promotes the burning of fat for energy. It is being researched for its potential to reverse age-related metabolic decline, aid in weight loss (particularly stubborn white adipose tissue), and improve overall cellular function and vitality. Unlike many stimulants, it works by restoring a more youthful metabolic state rather than simply forcing the release of energy, making it a promising avenue in longevity and metabolic medicine for lowering biological age.
