5-Amino-1MQ is a short-chain peptide that has shown promising results in the treatment of obesity. It is slowly growing in popularity as an excellent oral fat-burner that can reduce body fat significantly without causing serious side effects.
5-Amino-1MQ is a membrane-permeable peptide that works by inhibiting NNMT (Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase) and increasing NAD+. NNMT is an enzyme found in fat tissue that stops fat cell metabolism, making it harder for fat cells to be “burnt.”
I am obviously simplifying this explanation for clarity, but think of NNMT as the natural mechanism through which the body ensures that body fat percentages don’t drop too low (since that would actually be detrimental from an evolutionary perspective).
NAD+, which 5-Amino-1MQ increases, has been linked to longevity, optimal metabolic function, and SIRT-1 activation. SIRT-1 is known to decrease the occurrence of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and even kidney disease.
Here’s what you can expect from this peptide according to the studies:
No side effects have been observed in studies or anecdotally, but given the general lack of data on 5-Amino-1MQ, it is possible for it to have long-term side effects that we are not yet aware of.
Not many people have used this peptide because it can be hard to find and expensive, but nearly every user I’ve talked to or read about who has used it reports incredible results.
It is still necessary to be on a caloric deficit (preferably through both diet and cardio) to lose fat on 5-Amino-1MQ, but people report a much faster rate of fat loss without the jitters, anxiety, high blood pressure, tachycardia, and high body temperature that traditional fat-burners are known for.
Anecdotally, 5-Amino-1MQ provides the best results when dosed at 100 to 150mg a day.
Given how “safe” it is on paper, it can be used for 2 to 3 months, making it suitable for an entire cutting cycle.
The half-life of 5-Amino-1MQ is unknown, so taking it 2 or 3 times a day is preferable (morning, noon, evening, or morning & evening).
Based on all the information we have on 5-Amino-1MQ, I think it is safe for pretty much anyone to use, making it a good fit for any cutting cycle.
5-Amino-1MQ is especially useful for older men given its anti-aging and health-promoting properties.
The only thing that is stopping people from using 5-Amino-1MQ is the price, as running it for just 20 days at 150mg/day can cost more than $150.
If you want to buy legit, 3rd-party-tested 5-Amino-1MQ capsules, currently, only SwissChems sells it (from the companies I trust at least). You can grab it here and use code POP10 to save 10%.
