5-Amino-1MQ (5-Amino-1-methylquinolinium) is a compound that has attracted significant interest for its potential health benefits, particularly in the areas of metabolism and weight management. The compound functions by inhibiting the enzyme nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT)
When I first read about this in 2022, I was pretty excited because NNMT plays a significant role in the changes many of us experience in mid-life and beyond.
NNMT (nicotinamide N-methyltransferase) is an enzyme that affects how the body processes certain molecules. This enzyme plays a significant role in metabolism, particularly in how the body stores fat and uses energy.
As we age, NNMT activity tends to increase. Higher NNMT activity is linked to increased fat storage and reduced energy levels. This can contribute to weight gain, slower metabolism, and a higher risk of metabolic issues like obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. The increase in NNMT with age is one reason why maintaining a healthy weight and energy levels can become more challenging as we age.
As the vast majority of my clients are over 40 (and because I'm 57!), I had to try 5 Amino 1 mq.
As I delved deeper into my research, I discovered even more potential benefits.
Key Benefits of 5-Amino-1MQ:
5-Amino-1MQ helps reduce the size of fat cells by inhibiting the NNMT enzyme, which is involved in fat storage. When NNMT is blocked, the body is less likely to store fat, leading to smaller fat cells.
It also blocks the creation of new fat (a process called lipogenesis) by interfering with the pathways that turn nutrients into fat. This means the body produces less new fat overall. Even without a calorie deficit, 5-Amino-1MQ can promote fat loss by boosting metabolism and encouraging the body to burn stored fat for energy rather than storing more fat.
