5-Amino-1MQ vs Enclomiphene

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

Fat Loss & Metabolic
5-Amino-1MQ
GLP-1 / Weight Loss Agonists
Enclomiphene
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.
Enclomiphene is the trans-isomer of clomiphene citrate, a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) that stimulates endogenous testosterone production by blocking estrogen negative feedback on the hypothalamus and pituitary. Unlike TRT, it restores testosterone while preserving or increasing sperm production and testicular volume.

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
  • Restores testosterone to normal range without exogenous androgen administration
  • Preserves or increases sperm production and fertility
  • Maintains testicular volume (unlike TRT which causes testicular atrophy)
  • LH and FSH levels rise, indicating intact HPG axis function
  • Option for hypogonadal men desiring fertility
  • Oral administration (no injection required)
Side Effects
  • Generally well-tolerated in available studies
  • Mild GI discomfort (rare)
  • Limited long-term human data
  • Visual disturbances (rare but class-related SERM effect)
  • Mood changes or irritability
  • Hot flashes
  • Elevated estradiol in some users
