5-Amino-1MQ
5-Amino-1-Methylquinolinium
Overview
A small molecule peptide gaining traction for targeting visceral fat and activating NAD+ levels to boost metabolic rate. Works by inhibiting NNMT enzyme.
Mechanism of Action
Inhibits nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), an enzyme that when overexpressed leads to fat accumulation. Blocking NNMT increases NAD+ levels and activates fat-burning pathways.
