NNMT plays a key role in metabolic dysfunction, and its inhibition has been shown to reverse obesity-related changes in adipose tissue. Kraus et al., Cell Metabolism How 5-Amino-1MQ Works The primary mechanism behind 5-Amino-1MQ lies in its ability to inhibit nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) an enzyme that is often overexpressed in fat cells, cancer cells, and aging tissues
Research has examined NNMT inhibition, adipocyte metabolism, NAD+ salvage activity, and cellular energy expenditure in cell and rodent models
A 2024 study found deficiency prevalence ranges from 5% to 52% in vegans, with the wide gap reflecting differences in supplement use
People with certain conditions, like pernicious anaemia, digestive issues, or those who follow a strict vegan diet, often struggle to get enough
