5-Amino-1MQ is a small molecule compound (not a peptide) that works by inhibiting an enzyme in the body called NNMT (nicotinamide N-methyltransferase). When NNMT is blocked, your cells are able to produce and hold on to more NAD⁺, which boosts energy production, metabolism, and cellular repair.

Because NAD⁺ levels naturally decline as we age, 5-Amino-1MQ is often used in wellness medicine to support fat loss, energy, and healthy aging. It can be used on its own or alongside other therapies (such as NAD⁺ injections) for enhanced results.

Dosing & Frequency: Capsules are usually taken daily, most often 1–2 times per day depending on your treatment plan. Your provider will guide your exact dose.

Treatment Timeline: Some patients notice increased energy and appetite control within days. Fat loss and body composition improvements are typically more noticeable after consistent use over time.

Possible Side Effects: Generally well tolerated. Mild digestive upset, headache, or changes in appetite may occur.

Standalone or Add-On: Can be used on its own for metabolism and energy support, or combined with other wellness therapies for more powerful results.

Long-Term Use: Often taken in cycles (e.g., 8–12 weeks) or as part of an ongoing wellness plan.

Possible Side effects

Most patients tolerate 5-Amino-1MQ well, but as with any supplement or therapy, mild side effects are possible:

Digestive upset (bloating, stomach discomfort, nausea)

Headache

Temporary changes in appetite

Mild fatigue in some patients (usually improves as the body adjusts)

You and Melanie may decide to include additional lab testing—such as food sensitivity testing—to create a nutrition plan tailored to your body’s unique needs. This can be especially helpful if you reach a plateau or want to further optimize your results.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Safety has not been established — not recommended unless specifically prescribed under close supervision.

Medical Conditions: Use caution if you have liver disease, kidney disease, or uncontrolled metabolic disorders.

Long-Term Use: Often prescribed in cycles (e.g., 8–12 weeks) to avoid overstimulation of cellular pathways.

Allergies: Avoid use if you have a known sensitivity to any ingredients in the capsule.

Since 5-Amino-1MQ works by boosting NAD⁺ availability and affecting metabolism, it may interact with certain medications:

Diabetes Medications (insulin, metformin, GLP-1s, SGLT2 inhibitors): May alter blood sugar control — monitoring is recommended.

Blood Pressure Medications: May modestly influence vascular tone and blood pressure — monitor closely if taking antihypertensives.

Other NAD⁺ Boosting Agents (e.g., NMN, nicotinamide riboside, high-dose niacin): Combining may amplify effects — should be supervised by your provider.

Chemotherapy or Cancer Medications: Because 5-Amino-1MQ supports cellular metabolism, it may interfere with therapies designed to disrupt cell growth. Always consult your oncologist if applicable.
