What it is / mechanism 5-Amino-1MQ is a selective, cell-permeable inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), an enzyme that methylates nicotinamide (consuming the methyl donor SAM) to form 1-methylnicotinamide, diverting nicotinamide away from the NAD+ salvage pathway
While it has gained popularity due to its ability to stimulate fat metabolism without increasing IGF-1 levels, its essential to understand how it differs from other peptides like hGH, CJC-1295, Ipamorelin, and Semaglutide (Ozempic)
