5-Amino-1MQ vs Triptorelin

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

5-Amino-1MQ

Triptorelin
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.
Triptorelin is a synthetic decapeptide analog of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) with 100x the potency of native GnRH. An FDA-approved drug (Trelstar) for prostate cancer and precocious puberty, it is also used in post-cycle therapy (PCT) to rapidly restart the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis after anabolic steroid suppression.

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
  • Rapid HPG axis restart after steroid use
  • Single-injection PCT protocol possible
  • Massively elevates LH and FSH via flare effect
  • Restores endogenous testosterone faster than traditional PCT
  • FDA-approved for established medical uses
Side Effects
  • Generally well-tolerated in available studies
  • Mild GI discomfort (rare)
  • Limited long-term human data
  • Initial testosterone flare (intended)
  • Injection site reactions
  • Hot flashes (with chronic use)
  • Decreased libido (chronic dosing)
