5-Amino-1MQ – 5 mg

Primary Benefits

• Inhibits NNMT enzyme to support fat loss and energy production

• Increases NAD⁺ levels to enhance mitochondrial function

• May support cognitive function and neuroprotection

• Promotes improved insulin sensitivity and glucose regulation

• Potential application in obesity, metabolic dysfunction, and longevity support

Mechanism of Action

5-Amino-1MQ is a small molecule peptide that inhibits the enzyme NNMT (nicotinamide N-methyltransferase). This enzyme is overexpressed in fat cells and linked to impaired energy metabolism. By blocking NNMT, 5-Amino-1MQ boosts NAD⁺ availability and helps turn “on” fat-burning genes, while downregulating fat storage. It also supports metabolic function at the cellular level.

Dosing & Protocol

Subcutaneous (SQ) Injection (preferred):
• Reconstitution:
 – 5 mg vial → 3.0 ml bacteriostatic water

• Daily Dose:
 – 160–250 mcg (10–15 units)

• Cycle:
 5–7 days per week
 6–12 weeks on, then 2–4 weeks off

• Timing:
 Take in the morning on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes before eating.

Potential Side Effects

• Mild injection site irritation (rare)

• Slight jitteriness or overstimulation in sensitive individuals

• Increased energy or thermogenesis (which may affect sleep if taken too late)

• Rarely: mild headaches or nausea at higher doses

Common Stacks

• With BPC-157 and TB-500: For enhanced metabolic, immune and anti-inflammatory support

• With AOD-9604: For enhanced fat metabolism and lipolysis

• With CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin: For synergistic metabolic and GH support

• With MK-677: For additional appetite stimulation and anabolic effect (if desired)

Notes

• Best taken in the morning due to its energizing effect. 
• Injection is subcutaneous into the lower abdomen. 
• Store in the refrigerator after reconstitution and use within 30–45 days. 
• If you develop the flu, a significant infection, or any acute illness
  where your body’s ATP production needs to prioritize immune function,
  pause 5-Amino-1MQ and resume only once you have recovered.
