What users report
Less fat mass, same appetite
A fat cell that spends more
Muscle that keeps its strength
A different way to approach fat mass: acting inside the fat cell itself, in support of your diet and your training.
Less fat mass, same appetite
In the lab, at the University of Texas, fat mass and fat cell size went down without any change in food intake (Neelakantan, 2018).
A fat cell that spends more
In the lab, it blocks NNMT, an enzyme in fat tissue: the cell then spends more energy and makes less fat.
Muscle that keeps its strength
In the lab, in aged muscle, blocking NNMT activated muscle stem cells and raised maximal strength by about 70% (Neelakantan, 2019).
Laboratory research

People choose it for fat mass, which went down in studies without any change in food intake.
What it is: A small molecule developed at the University of Texas that blocks NNMT, an enzyme in fat tissue: the fat cell then spends more energy and makes less fat.
Laboratory research
In a 2024 study, 5-Amino-1MQ cut liver fat by 73% and reduced fat mass gain more than threefold.
This small molecule, developed at the University of Texas in 2018, blocks NNMT: an enzyme in fat tissue that becomes more active with age and obesity. With NNMT blocked, the fat cell spends more energy and makes less fat.
Why people choose it:
- Fat mass: reduced, with smaller fat cells, without any change in food intake (Biochemical Pharmacology, 2018).
- Body composition: combined with a lighter diet, it returned to normal faster than with the diet alone (Scientific Reports, 2021).
- Strength: in aged muscle, peak force was about 70% higher and fibre size nearly doubled (2019).
It is the only product in our catalogue that blocks NNMT.

What to combine it with?
Pick one to three products: the text follows your combination.
NAD+, preserved and topped up
What each one brings
- 5-Amino-1MQ : By blocking NNMT, it preserves the NAD+ in fat cells instead of letting it be used up.
- NAD+ : It supplies the coenzyme directly, the one that carries electrons to the mitochondria.
Why together
The combination the community cites most for 5-Amino-1MQ: one keeps the NAD+ in fat cells, the other adds more. Two moves toward the same reservoir, the one behind cellular energy.
What adds up
- A NAD+ reservoir protected on one side and filled on the other.
- The fat-cell energy use 5-Amino-1MQ targets, with the energy and mental clarity NAD+ users report.
In practice
Each pen follows its protocol; 5-Amino-1MQ goes early in the day, as its page explains.
When will I feel the effects?
Weeks 1 to 2
Getting started
The first two days are on the small dose. A slight sting at the injection is common; noticing nothing else is normal.
Weeks 3 to 7
The first changes
According to user reports, the waistline often starts to change between the fourth and the sixth week, together with diet and training.
Weeks 8 to 11
Clearer changes
Users describe clearer changes between the eighth and the twelfth week, over the length of a full cycle.
Week 12 and up
Time to take stock
The full cycle ends and a four- to six-week break follows: compare with your starting measurements.
These timings vary from one person to the next. This timeline is a guide, not a promise.

Storage
Good for 5 and a half weeks after reconstitution, if it has been kept properly: in the fridge, away from light, with an alcohol swab on the tip before each use. Past that, we do not recommend using it, even if some is left; if the liquid turns cloudy or changes colour, do not use it, even before.
