5-Amino-1MQ
NNMT inhibitor (small molecule, not a peptide) studied for fat loss and muscle anabolism via methylation balance.
This is a small molecule, not a peptide. It blocks an enzyme called NNMT that runs overactive in fat tissue; when NNMT is high, fat cells store energy lazily and waste the cell's methylation currency. Inhibiting it pushes fat cells to burn more energy and frees up resources for muscle — so in research it shows fat loss alongside a mild anabolic effect. Taken orally, it's an experimental "metabolic flexibility" tool with limited human data so far.
