A small molecule peptide that inhibits NNMT, potentially increasing NAD+ levels, enhancing metabolic function, and supporting fat loss and cellular repair.
How it Works
5-Amino-1MQ is a small molecule peptide studied for its ability to inhibit nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), an enzyme linked to metabolic dysfunction and NAD+ depletion. By blocking NNMT, 5-Amino-1MQ helps increase cellular NAD+ levels, supporting mitochondrial function, metabolic efficiency, and energy production. Research suggests it may play a role in improving insulin sensitivity, modulating glucose metabolism, and promoting fat loss by enhancing energy expenditure. Its ability to upregulate NAD+ also ties into cellular repair processes, making it a potential longevity-supporting compound.
