5-Amino-1MQ is an experimental small molecule being studied for its potential effects on metabolism, cellular energy, and healthy aging.

Unlike peptides, 5-Amino-1MQ is not a chain of amino acids. It is a synthetic small molecule that inhibits an enzyme called nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT).

Why is NNMT Important?

NNMT helps regulate how the body handles nicotinamide (vitamin B3) and is involved in pathways related to NAD⁺ metabolism, energy balance, and fat storage.

Research suggests that inhibiting NNMT may:

• Support NAD⁺ metabolism
• Increase cellular energy expenditure
• Promote the use of stored fat
• Support metabolic health
• Influence NAD⁺-dependent pathways, including sirtuins
