Peptide Summary

5-Amino-1MQ: It blocks an enzyme in your body that normally tells your cells to store fat. By blocking this enzyme, it forces your body to burn fat for energy instead, making it a powerful tool for weight loss and preventing muscle loss.

Peptide Mechanism

5-Amino-1MQ: 5-Amino-1MQ inhibits the enzyme Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT). By blocking NNMT, it prevents the degradation of nicotinamide (a NAD+ precursor), shifting cellular metabolism away from fat storage and toward fat burning while preserving lean muscle mass.

Peptide Recommendations

5-Amino-1MQ: All doses are subcutaneous injection. Goal | Dose | Frequency Beginner | 150-250 mcg | Once daily Intermediate | 250-400 mcg | Once daily Advanced | 400-500 mcg | Once daily

Peptide Timing

5-Amino-1MQ: SubQ injections are often preferred in the morning. Oral doses are typically split throughout the day to maintain stable blood levels.

Peptide Cycling Protocol

5-Amino-1MQ: 4-6 weeks on, followed by 2-4 weeks off. Continuous use without breaks is not recommended as effects may diminish over time.

Peptide Side Effect Notes

5-Amino-1MQ: Commonly reported side effects are mild: temporary digestive changes resolving within the first week. Less common side effects can include hives, swelling, high blood pressure, rapid heart rate, or nausea. Start with a lower dose to assess tolerance.

Peptide Quick Dose

Peptide: 5-Amino-1MQ; Dose Range: 5-20 mg; Frequency: 1-2x daily; Timing / Notes: Morning. 4-6 weeks on, 2-4 weeks off.

Peptide Comparison Notes

2. Weight Loss & Metabolism: Retatrutide vs. 5-Amino-1MQ vs. MOTS-c vs. SLU-PP-332 Retatrutide is the heavy hitter. It works on the brain and gut to drastically reduce appetite and slow digestion. It is the most powerful tool for significant weight loss. 5-Amino-1MQ works at the cellular level. It doesn't stop you from eating; instead, it blocks the enzyme that tells your body to store fat, forcing your body to burn it instead. MOTS-c improves insulin sensitivity and tells your cells to use energy more efficiently, mimicking the metabolic effects of exercise. SLU-PP-332 is an exercise mimetic that specifically increases endurance and fat oxidation in muscle tissue.
