5-Amino-1mq (15mg) x 60 Tablets

NNMT Inhibition & Enhanced NAD⁺ Availability:

By blocking NNMT activity, 5‑Amino‑1MQ conserves nicotinamide and maintains NAD⁺ levels, supporting mitochondrial bioenergetics and metabolic homeostasis in preclinical models [2][3]. 

Adipose Tissue Reduction:

In mice with diet-induced obesity, treatment with 5‑Amino‑1MQ decreased body fat percentage, reduced adipocyte size, and improved serum lipid profiles—without altering food intake [2]. 

Stem/Progenitor Cell Activation:

The increase in NAD⁺ and methyl-donor availability is linked to satellite cell proliferation and improved tissue regenerative capacity in muscle injury studies [3][4]. 

Anti-Inflammatory and Metabolic Lipid Signatures:

NNMT suppression led to shifts in lipid biomarkers associated with anti-inflammatory and insulin-sensitizing PAHSA lipids, indicating downstream metabolic effects [2][5]. 

Early Anticancer Potential:

High NNMT expression in tumors has prompted evaluation of 5‑Amino‑1MQ as a metabolic inhibitor in oncology research, with initial in vitro reductions in tumor cell viability [2].
