5Amino--1-MQ

5-Amino-1MQ is a small molecule that inhibits an enzyme called NNMT (nicotinamide N-methyltransferase). NNMT plays a role in cellular energy metabolism and fat storage. By inhibiting NNMT, 5-Amino-1MQ helps increase NAD+ and SAMe levels, which are important in cellular energy production and metabolic health.

Potential Benefits of 5-Amino-1MQ:

1. Fat Loss
   
• Inhibition of NNMT boosts metabolism in adipose tissue, making fat cells burn more energy.
• May help reduce white fat mass without muscle loss.
  
2. Increased Energy and Endurance
   
• By improving NAD+ levels, it supports mitochondrial function and cellular energy.
  
3. Improved Insulin Sensitivity & Glucose Metabolism
   
• May help regulate blood sugar levels, reducing risk of insulin resistance.
  
4. Muscle Preservation During Weight Loss
   
• Some animal studies suggest 5-Amino-1MQ preserves lean mass while cutting fat.
  
5. Anti-Aging & Longevity Potential
   
• Increased NAD+ levels are associated with DNA repair, longevity, and reduced inflammation.
  
6. Potential Cognitive Support
   
• Though not yet well studied in this area, enhanced NAD+ and metabolic function could support brain health.
