This peptide works by stimulating the production of telomerase, an enzyme that repairs and extends telomeresthe protective caps at the ends of chromosomes that naturally shorten as we age
When NNMT is too active, it consumes our precious supply of NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), a coenzyme that is absolutely essential for cellular energy production and DNA repair
However, subsequent analysis showed that 500mcg produced nearly identical results to 1mg in body composition changes
Smad2 and TGFR interactions, influencing gene transcription and cellular differentiation
This could mean injections every two to three months for chronic conditions like pernicious anemia, or less frequent injections for diet-related deficiencies
By inhibiting NNMT, 5-Amino-1MQ reduces 1-MNA formation and alleviates the methyl sink, increasing SAM availability for other methylation reactions, while freeing nicotinamide for recycling through NAMPT toward NAD
