Today, I’m diving into a molecule that might just blow your mind: 5-Amino-1MQ (aka 5-Amino-1-Methylquinolinium). 💥
WWW.5AMINO.COM
Why am I talking about this? Because we're in a new era of body composition, longevity, muscle preservation… and this molecule is part of a nonconventional, cutting-edge toolbox 🧰 that’s worth exploring.

🧬 What Is 5-Amino-1MQ?
It sounds like something from a sci-fi lab—because it kinda is. But don’t let the name scare you.
👉 It’s a small molecule being researched for its effects on:


Fat metabolism 🧈


Muscle preservation 💪


NAD+ levels ⚡


Insulin sensitivity 🧃


And even longevity ⏳



🔍 How It Works: The Science (Simplified)
Let’s break it down without causing brain fog:
🧪 It blocks an enzyme called NNMT (Nicotinamide N-Methyltransferase), which becomes more active in your fat cells as they grow.
🔒 NNMT = The Gatekeeper of Fat Cells


It makes fat cells hoard energy 😤


Suppresses metabolism 🐌


Reduces NAD+, the molecule linked to cellular energy and longevity 💥


🧯 When you inhibit NNMT using 5-Amino-1MQ:


Fat storage decreases ❌🧈


Energy usage goes up ⚡


Muscle is preserved 💪


NAD+ levels rise ⬆️


Lipid profiles improve 📈


Basically: fat cells shrink, muscle stays, and your body acts more like it did in your 20s. 🎯

🐀 But Wait—Is This Just In Rats?
Yeah, the main studies are in rodents 🐭… but the mechanisms apply to humans too.
✅ In one study, rats fed a high-fat diet + 5-Amino-1MQ:


Lost fat (even with a calorie surplus) 🍕➡️🔥


Had better blood sugar 🚦


Lower cholesterol 🫀


No muscle loss 🚫💀💪


So... eyebrow-raising? Yes. 😲

💡 Why It's Intriguing for Us
www.5amino.com
We all know as we age:


Muscle gets harder to gain 🧱


Fat gets easier to store 🧈


Metabolism slows down 😩


NAD+ levels tank 🧃⬇️


This compound may reverse that trend by helping us:


Burn fat more efficiently 🔥


Preserve precious muscle tissue 💎


Improve energy, blood sugar, and overall vitality ⚡



💪 Muscle Preservation: My Jam
You know me—muscle is my thing. Always has been.
🧠 As we age, building muscle becomes incredibly difficult.
🏋️‍♀️ Even in a calorie deficit, 5-Amino-1MQ appears to preserve lean muscle—which is a game-changer.
Especially now, when:


Weight loss meds are rampant 💉


And people are losing muscle along with fat—which is NOT the goal. ❌



🧬 Let’s Talk NAD+
You’ve probably heard of NAD+—a molecule vital for:


Mitochondrial health (your body’s batteries) 🔋


DNA repair 🧬


Youthful muscle maintenance 💪✨


As we age, NAD+ drops dramatically. But 5-Amino-1MQ helps prevent that by blocking NNMT. So:
🧪 Less NNMT = More NAD+ = More cellular repair = More metabolic youth.

🙋‍♀️ My Personal Experience
I first started taking 5-Amino-1MQ years ago. Bought it from Peptide Sciences—$250 a bottle. 💸
I took it for 3 months during a time when:


I wasn’t training much


Food was off


I was constantly traveling ✈️


👉 And yet... I didn’t gain a single pound.
Not one. I usually gain 4–5 lbs from a trip to England or California. So that was wild.

👨‍🔬 Then Kevin Got Curious...
So now Kevin’s on it too, and after 4 months—his blood work improved significantly, especially cholesterol. 💥
I now source my own product. Why? Because I didn’t want to keep spending $500/month 😅
But here’s the drama...

😤 The Saga of Sourcing
It’s hydrophobic (moisture sensitive), and I had some issues with capsules breaking. That led to switching to special vegan capsules… and then—
🧨 My website broke. Add-to-cart button? Dead. Shipping calculator? Broken.
I ended up learning coding 🤯 and fixing it myself. Took days. Spent money. Was this close to quitting. But…
✨ I’m tenacious.
And now? It's BACK. Available on my site.

🧠 Why This All Matters
Even if you never take this, here’s what it reveals:
✔️ Your body already has systems for burning fat and preserving muscle.
✔️ This compound doesn’t add something foreign—it helps you use your own biology better.
✔️ It's not magic. It's science. And it's one of many tools emerging in the age of true health optimization.

💪 Final Thoughts
We're moving into an age where it's not about just eating less and moving more. That still helps—but...
✨ It's about upgrading the code.
✨ It's about knowing what levers to pull.
✨ It's about preserving your power—for life.
