What it is
5-Amino-1MQ is a small molecule, not a peptide, that blocks an enzyme called NNMT. NNMT is active in fat tissue and may slow how fat cells use energy.
It is often sold next to peptides with claims about fat loss, but it is a research chemical.
US regulatory status
Not FDA-approved for any use and not an accepted bulk substance for US pharmacy compounding.
What the research shows
Evidence comes from cell and mouse studies, where blocking NNMT reduced fat mass in obese mice. There are no published human clinical trials.
How it is given
Oral capsule (unapproved research chemical)
Commonly reported side effects
- No reliable human data on side effects
- Unknown long-term risks
- Risk of contaminated or mislabeled products

- What does the research really show about 5-Amino-1MQ in humans?
- Are there FDA-approved treatments for my goal that have stronger evidence?
- What are the risks of products labeled "research use only," and how would I know what is really in them?
