99% Pure | USA Made | Multi Dose
5‑Amino‑1MQ (5‑Amino‑1‑Methylquinolinium) is a research molecule studied for its effects on fat metabolism, cellular energy, and NAD⁺ pathways. As an NNMT inhibitor, it’s shown promise in models targeting insulin sensitivity, lipid oxidation, and age-related metabolic decline. At Real Peptides, we offer two formats for researchers: Oral Tablets for ease and long-acting release, and Injectable Powder for rapid absorption and flexible dosing. Both are 99%+ purity, lab-tested, and built for serious research into metabolic optimization and cellular function.
What Is 5-Amino 1mq (5-ALA)?
5‑Amino‑1‑MQ (5‑Amino‑1‑Methylquinolinium) is a novel small molecule derived from quinolinium salts that has been studied for its ability to inhibit NNMT (Nicotinamide N‑Methyltransferase), an enzyme involved in metabolic dysfunction, obesity, and cellular aging. By downregulating NNMT activity, research shows 5‑Amino‑1MQ may support increased NAD⁺ availability, enhanced mitochondrial function, and improved metabolic efficiency.
In cell and animal models, this mechanism has been linked to:
- Higher energy expenditure
- Improved insulin sensitivity
- Reduced fat accumulation
- Cellular rejuvenation and anti-aging potential
Because of its role in the NAD⁺ salvage pathway, 5‑Amino‑1MQ is increasingly studied alongside other longevity molecules like NMN, NR, and resveratrol, but with a more direct effect on the gene associated with metabolic slowdown.
Why Choose 5-Amino 1mq?
Researchers are exploring 5‑Amino‑1MQ because it:
- Targets root-level metabolic decline via NNMT inhibition
- Supports energy production and fat oxidation in vitro
- mproves insulin sensitivity, a key marker in metabolic health
- Acts as a non-stimulant — avoiding side effects typical of thermogenics
- Offered in oral tablets for convenience and injectable powder for rapid uptake
- Lab-tested, 99%+ purity, and available for advanced metabolic research protocols
Its flexibility makes it ideal for varied research setups — whether targeting age-related metabolic shifts, obesity studies, or cellular energy pathways.
What Sets 5-Amino 1mq Apart?
What makes 5-Amino-1MQ unique in the peptide research landscape is its genetic-level modulation of metabolic function — not just symptoms. By silencing NNMT, it enables a natural uptick in NAD⁺ levels, leading to enhanced mitochondrial function, lean mass preservation, and fat metabolism without overstimulation.
- Unlike traditional fat-burners or stimulants, it doesn’t spike cortisol or heart rate
- It directly impacts the epigenetic drivers of aging and weight gain
- Real Peptides offers both oral and injectable forms, letting researchers tailor to their desired absorption curve and study design
In longevity and metabolic studies, 5-Amino-1MQ stands out as a clean, versatile molecule backed by growing interest in NAD⁺-based therapeutics.
FAQS
To directly feed the heme-biosynthesis pathway, measure mitochondrial respiration, and trace metabolic flux in cellular and animal models.
Each capsule contains exactly 30 mg of 5-aminolevulinic acid.
Yes—simply empty the contents into culture media or buffer. The powder dissolves rapidly for precise dosing.
Researchers commonly employ 50–200 µM final concentration, adjusted to cell-type sensitivity.
Standard protocols use 50–100 mg/kg via oral gavage or supplemented drinking water, per institutional guidelines.
Store at 15–25 °C in a cool, dry place. Tablets remain stable for 24 months.
Tablets ensure consistent 30 mg doses, eliminate weighing errors, and reduce contamination risk in high-throughput and small-batch experiments.
Only pharmaceutical-grade microcrystalline cellulose is used, minimizing assay interference.
