How it works
Selective inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), an enzyme implicated in adipocyte energy metabolism in preclinical models.
Where it's used
Studied in preclinical research for effects on adipose tissue metabolism.
Regulatory status
Not FDA-approved; research compound.
Tracking it
5-Amino-1MQ is oral, which makes consistency the whole game — a simple daily check-off with a reminder beats memory every time.
