5-Amino-1MQ vs Adipotide

5-Amino-1MQ vs Adipotide — mechanism, half-life, dosing, and research status compared. Which is right for your protocol?

5-Amino-1MQ
Metabolic & Mitochondrial

5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), an enzyme that regulates NAD+ metabolism and energy expenditure in adipose tissue. By blocking NNMT, 5-Amino-1MQ raises intracellular NAD+ and SAM levels, pushing stem cells toward muscle and bo...

Adipotide
Metabolic & Mitochondrial

Adipotide (FTPP) is an experimental peptidomimetic that selectively targets and destroys blood vessels supplying white adipose tissue. It consists of a homing peptide that binds prohibitin on adipose vasculature, linked to a proapoptotic sequence that triggers cell death in the t...
