Overview
5-Amino-1MQ sits in an unusual spot in the research catalog: it is not a peptide at all, but a small-molecule NNMT inhibitor that metabolic-research labs order alongside peptides. Canadian search interest concentrates on the 50mg format and its pricing, so this guide covers both formats and what to check before ordering.
What is 5-Amino-1MQ?
5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), an enzyme studied for its role in cellular metabolism and energy regulation.
Because NNMT sits at the crossroads of NAD+ metabolism and methylation balance, 5-Amino-1MQ appears widely in metabolic-research literature. For the enzyme itself, see What Is NNMT? — and for how it compares to a mitochondrial peptide, MOTS-C vs 5-Amino-1MQ.
10mg vs 50mg: which format do labs order?
The compound is the same in both; the difference is quantity per vial and cost per milligram. The 50mg format suits programs running repeated assays, while the 10mg format is the entry point for pilot work.
Canadian queries specifically around "50mg price" reflect that the larger vial is where per-mg economics improve — current pricing for both is listed on the product pages.
Handling and storage in the lab
As a small molecule, 5-Amino-1MQ is comparatively robust: keep it sealed, cool, dry, and away from light.
Standard laboratory storage practice applies, and solutions should be prepared fresh per your protocol. General guidance in How to Store Research Peptides Properly covers the cold-chain habits most labs default to.
Buying 5-Amino-1MQ in Canada
Amino Labs stocks both 5-Amino-1MQ 10mg and 5-Amino-1MQ 50mg for Canadian researchers — 99%+ HPLC-verified, shipped discreetly by tracked courier nationwide, Interac e-Transfer checkout.
When comparing Canadian pricing, check the purity method, quantity actually stated per vial, and shipping origin — cross-border orders can add duty and delay that erase an apparent price advantage. Both product pages list current Canadian pricing and stock.
Frequently asked questions
Is 5-Amino-1MQ a peptide?
No — it's a small-molecule NNMT inhibitor. It's stocked alongside research peptides because the same metabolic-research programs use it.
What does the 50mg vial cost in Canada?
Current pricing is listed on the 50mg product page; the larger format improves cost per milligram for ongoing programs.
Is 5-Amino-1MQ legal in Canada?
Amino Labs supplies it for research use only, to qualified researchers, for laboratory and analytical purposes — not for human or animal consumption.
How fast is shipping within Canada?
Orders ship discreetly by tracked courier nationwide; no cross-border customs step since stock ships domestically.
Research use only. All products sold by Amino Labs are for laboratory and analytical research by qualified professionals and are not intended for human or animal use. Nothing here is medical advice or a claim of efficacy.
