5-Amino-1MQ
Fat Loss
The NNMT inhibitor researchers reach for when stubborn fat won't move.
Research chemical vendors can't legally label products with the real name, so 5-Amino-1MQ often appears under coded SKUs. If you're shopping and see any of these, it's the same compound:
- 1MQ
- 5A1MQ
Codes shown are for identification only. Always verify third-party COAs before purchase.
5-Amino-1MQ is a small molecule inhibitor of nicotinamide N methyltransferase (NNMT). In adipose tissue, elevated NNMT activity is linked to a sluggish metabolism and resistance to fat loss. Blocking it appears to restore NAD+ and SAM pools inside fat cells.
- Targeted reduction of visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue without appetite suppression
- Preserves lean muscle during a cut, unlike GLP-1s, it does not blunt hunger
- Anecdotal reports of improved insulin sensitivity and energy
Educational only · Not a vendor claim
Blocks NNMT inside fat cells, restoring NAD+ and SAM pools so adipocytes burn rather than store energy.
- Targets stubborn visceral and subcutaneous fat
- Preserves lean muscle during a cut
- Improves insulin sensitivity
- Restores intracellular NAD+
- Gradual fat loss over 6–12 weeks
- Steady energy without stimulants
- No appetite suppression
- Oral capsule - no injections
- Stacks cleanly with GLP-1s
- No HPTA or thyroid suppression
- Slower visible results than GLP-1s
- Cost adds up on long cycles
- Limited long term human data
- Mild GI upset early in cycle
- Occasional headache
- Rare insomnia if dosed late

Typical timeline
General pattern for the Fat Loss category. Individual response varies.
- Week 1Titrate up slowly. Expect appetite drop, mild nausea, and possible constipation with GLP-1s. Hydrate and lean on fiber.
- Weeks 2–4Steady weight trend down (0.5–1.5 lb/week is healthy). Prioritize protein (~1 g/lb lean mass) to protect muscle.
- Weeks 4–8Body composition visibly shifts. Add resistance training if you haven't — muscle preservation is the whole game.
- Weeks 8+Re-evaluate dose. Consider a maintenance drop or a scheduled break to reset receptor sensitivity.

The reconstitution math
- 1Reconstitute the 10 mg vial with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water. Tilt — don't shake.
- 2Concentration becomes 5,000 mcg/mL (5 mg/mL).
- 3For a 1 mg dose, draw 0.200 mL — that's 20 units on a 1 mL insulin syringe.
- 4One vial gives you approximately 10 doses.
Reminder: 100 units on an insulin syringe = 1 mL. Always start at half the listed dose for the first week and rotate injection sites between arms, legs, abdomen, and glutes.
