5-Amino-1MQ vs DSIP

Side-by-side comparison of key properties, dosing, and research.

Fat Loss & Metabolic
5-Amino-1MQ
Sleep OptimizationCognitive Enhancement
DSIP
Summary
5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule NNMT (Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase) inhibitor that raises intracellular NAD+ levels and promotes fat burning. It is notable for targeting adipose tissue directly, reducing fat cell size and number while increasing metabolic rate.
DSIP is an endogenous neuropeptide originally isolated from rabbit cerebrospinal fluid that induces delta-wave (deep) sleep. It also modulates stress response, cortisol regulation, and LH secretion, making it valuable for sleep optimization and stress management.
Half-Life

SubQ, IV, Intranasal
Research
Typical Dose
50–100 mg
100–400 mcg
Frequency
Once to twice daily
Once nightly
Key Benefits
  • Raises intracellular NAD+ levels
  • Directly targets adipose tissue for fat reduction
  • Reduces fat cell size and differentiation
  • Increases basal metabolic rate
  • SIRT1 activation for metabolic regulation
  • No stimulant cardiovascular side effects
  • Synergistic with intermittent fasting and caloric restriction
  • May have anti-aging metabolic benefits
  • Induces and deepens delta-wave (slow-wave) sleep
  • Reduces cortisol and normalizes HPA axis
  • Improves sleep quality in insomnia patients
  • Anti-stress and anxiolytic effects
  • May improve opiate/alcohol withdrawal symptoms
  • Analgesic properties through opioid modulation
  • Antioxidant and neuroprotective effects
Side Effects
  • Generally well-tolerated in available studies
  • Mild GI discomfort (rare)
  • Limited long-term human data
  • Generally well tolerated
  • Mild grogginess next morning at higher doses
  • Rare: hypotension
  • Potential for altered dream patterns
