5-Amino-1MQ · How it works
More NAD+ and SAM
When NNMT is blocked, nicotinamide is recycled back into NAD+, the cell's energy and repair cofactor, instead of being thrown away. The cell also keeps more SAM, its main methyl donor from the methionine cycle. Higher NAD+ switches on SIRT1, the sirtuin that drives fat burning and mitochondrial renewal. Fat cells shift from storing to burning.
