5AM

5-Amino-1MQ (often shortened to “5-Amino”), it’s a research compound that has gained attention for its potential effects on fat metabolism and body composition.

What is 5-Amino-1MQ?

5-Amino-1MQ is a small molecule that inhibits an enzyme called Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT). NNMT plays a role in how the body regulates energy use and fat storage.

By inhibiting NNMT, researchers believe 5-Amino-1MQ may:

• Increase cellular energy expenditure
• Reduce fat accumulation
• Improve metabolic function
• Help preserve lean muscle during weight loss (based primarily on animal studies)

Potential Benefits Being Studied

Research is exploring whether 5-Amino-1MQ may:

• Support fat loss
• Improve body composition
• Increase energy metabolism
• Improve insulin sensitivity
• Reduce visceral (abdominal) fat
• Complement diet and exercise during weight-loss programs
