Compound Profiles

5-Amino-1MQ

NNMT Inhibitor | Longevity & Metabolic Enhancement

Inhibits NNMT enzyme systemically, preventing NAD+ degradation and maintaining elevated cellular NAD+ levels to support mitochondrial function and metabolic processes..

Half-life: 4-7 hours (3.8h IV, 6.9h oral) Typical dose: 50-100mg oral or 150-500mcg SubQ longevity, metabolic, weight loss

Berberine

Plant Alkaloid | Natural Glucose & Lipid Management

Berberine's primary mechanism of action involves activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), the cell's master energy-sensing enzyme. Unlike metformin, which activates AMPK primarily through inhibition of mitochondrial Complex I, berberine appears to activate AMPK through multiple pathways, including direct inhibition of mitochondrial Complex I, stimulation of AMPK phosphorylation, and modulation of the AMP-to-ATP ratio.
