5-Amino-1MQ · How it works
Smaller fat cells
In obese mice on a high fat diet, 5-Amino-1MQ shrank white fat cells, lowered fat mass and body weight, and lowered cholesterol without any change in food intake. Later work showed better insulin sensitivity and less liver fat. The body burns more of its stored fat because the cells' energy machinery is running again.
