By blocking NNMT, 5-Amino-1MQ drives several metabolic benefits: Boosts NAD Levels Inhibiting NNMT preserves more nicotinamide for NAD synthesis, leading to enhanced mitochondrial function, increased cellular energy output, and activation of sirtuins , the proteins involved in longevity and DNA repair
Mechanism & Study-Design Comparison The better question is not simply which compound is stronger
