Also known as: 5-Amino-1-methylquinolinium
Overview
A small molecule that inhibits the enzyme NNMT (nicotinamide N-methyltransferase). Research has explored its potential effects on metabolism and energy expenditure in preclinical models.
Benefits
- ✓metabolic enhancement
- ✓weight management
- ✓energy expenditure
- ✓NAD+ optimization
Potential Side Effects
- •limited human data
- •injection site reactions (injectable)
- •digestive changes possible (oral)
Who Should Avoid
- ⚠pregnancy or breastfeeding
- ⚠liver disease or impaired liver function
- ⚠metabolic disorders without clinician oversight
Interactions & Precautions
Very limited interaction data. May affect methylation and NAD+ pathways. Discuss with clinician if taking niacin supplements, NAD+ boosters, or medications affecting liver metabolism.
Dosing Information from Literature
Human clinical data is extremely limited. Animal research has explored various doses. Anecdotal protocols range widely with no established standard.
This is descriptive information only. Always consult a licensed healthcare provider for dosing guidance.
