If youre dealing with chronic bloating, inflammation, irregular digestion, or unexplained fatigue, your gut may be the root of the problem
5-amino-1MQ acts as an inhibitor of an enzyme called NNMT that degrades a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) precursor called nicotinamide, which is also a precursor of nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN)
By inhibiting NNMT, 5-Amino-1MQ increases cellular SAM and NAD+ levels, enhances NAD+ salvage pathway flux, activates SIRT-1, boosts oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), and influences cellular energy homeostasis and epigenetic modifications
It helps regulate glycogen, which impacts energy levels
Administering the peptide at night aligns with this rhythm, producing a compounded effect
