How to Use 5-Amino-1MQ
Complete guide to 5-Amino-1MQ dosing, administration, timing, and protocol recommendations.
Quick Overview
First, a correction worth making loudly: 5-amino-1MQ is not a peptide. It is a small molecule (5-amino-1-methylquinolinium), and it gets lumped in with research peptides mostly because of the crowd that sells it. It blocks an enzyme called NNMT, and in obese mice it produced weight and fat loss without the animals eating less. No human trials have been published.
