5-Amino-1MQ- Summary
- Gonadorelin is the synthetic form of endogenous GnRH (gonadotropin-releasing hormone). It stimulates the pituitary to release LH and FSH, maintaining testicular function and testosterone production. Widely used alongside TRT to prevent testicular atrophy and preserve fertility.
- 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.
- Half-Life
- ~2–4 minutes (extremely short); pulsatile dosing required to avoid desensitization
- Estimated 4–8 hours
- Admin Route
- SubQ, Intranasal
- Oral
