5-AMINO-1MQ
5-Amino-1MQ is a powerful peptide that supports fat loss, muscle preservation, and cellular energy by inhibiting the NNMT enzyme, which boosts NAD+ levels and metabolic function. It promotes the breakdown of stored fat, enhances insulin sensitivity, and may improve muscle performance during caloric restriction. 5-Amino-1MQ also supports longevity, improves cognitive function, and reduces inflammation, making it a versatile option for body composition, anti-aging, and energy optimization. It works synergistically with peptides like MOTS-c and NAD+. Easy to use and well-tolerated, 5-Amino-1MQ offers a cutting-edge solution for those seeking sustainable fat loss and metabolic health.
