5-Amino-1MQ (50mg Vial)
5-Amino-1MQ is a selective, cell-permeable NNMT (Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase) inhibitor studied primarily in animal and laboratory models.
Preclinical research suggests NNMT inhibition may:
- Support fat metabolism
- Help preserve lean muscle mass
- Increase intracellular NAD⁺ levels
- Influence SIRT1-related metabolic pathways
Most available data is non-human. Human research is currently very limited. Information is provided for educational and scientific reference only.
Reconstitution Summary (Educational Reference)
- Vial strength: 50 mg
- Diluent: 2.0 mL bacteriostatic water
- Final concentration after reconstitution:
“Reconstitution” is a fancy word that just means:
Mixing powder with water so it becomes liquid
In research settings:
- Scientists add special clean water (BACwater) to the vial
- The powder slowly melts into the water
- They wait a bit so it mixes evenly
Concentration
- 50 mg ÷ 2.0 mL = 25 mg/mL
Commonly Referenced Preclinical Dose Range
- 2.5–5 mg
- Administered once or twice daily
- Subcutaneous route is commonly referenced in research discussions
- Lower doses are typically referenced first, with gradual increases over time
U-100 Syringe Dose Math (Key Answer)
A U-100 insulin syringe = 100 units per 1.0 mL
With a 25 mg/mL concentration:
2 mg dose calculation
- Volume needed:
2 mg ÷ 25 mg/mL = 0.08 mL - U-100 syringe units:
0.08 mL × 100 = 8 units
2 mg = 8 units on a U-100 syringe
