5-Amino-1MQ is a small molecule peptide that is showing huge promise in metabolic enhancement and body recomposition. It works by inhibiting NNMT (Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase), an enzyme that depletes NAD+ levels and slows metabolic rate. It has been shown in studies to reduce stubborn belly fat, enhance mitochondrial efficiency and Improve insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism.  
 
Key Characteristics and Functions:
 
Weight loss and metabolic health:
 
Increases fat metabolism: By inhibiting NNMT, it can boost the body's ability to burn fat more efficiently and reduce fat storage.
Enhances energy expenditure: This leads to a greater capacity for the body to use stored fat as energy.
Shrinks fat cells: Research suggests it may reduce the size of fat cells and prevent new fat formation.
May improve insulin sensitivity: Studies show it can improve glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity, potentially reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes.
Reverses effects of diet-induced obesity: It has been shown to limit body weight and fat mass gain and improve liver health, including reducing steatosis and inflammation. 
 
Muscle and energy:
 
Preserves lean muscle mass: It may help maintain and potentially increase muscle mass, particularly during weight loss.
Reduces fatigue and increases energy levels: Users report feeling more energized, potentially supporting more active lifestyles and exercise.
May improve muscle function and repair: Research suggests it can stimulate stem cells and boost muscle regeneration, particularly in aging muscles. 
 
Potential anti-aging effects:
 
Enhances cellular resilience and DNA repair: By increasing NAD+ levels, which are crucial for many cellular functions including DNA repair, it may contribute to cellular health and potentially slow down the aging process.
Supports mitochondrial health: NAD+ is vital for mitochondrial function, and 5-Amino-1MQ may help rejuvenate cellular energy production.
