Buy 5-Amino-1MQ in Canada: A Researcher’s Guide
5-Amino-1MQ is not a peptide, it is a small-molecule NNMT inhibitor, and that distinction is the first thing worth getting right. It is studied for its effect on nicotinamide N-methyltransferase, an enzyme involved in how fat cells store and process energy. For Canadian researchers the sourcing questions are the same as for any research compound.

Why researchers source it domestically
Ordering research compounds across the border invites customs delays and seizures. 5-Amino-1MQ (50 mg) ships from within Canada instead, third-party tested, e-transfer and credit card accepted, with same-day dispatch before 3 PM PST and free shipping over $150.
What to check before you buy
- Purity documentation — a stated purity figure, not a generic claim. It is listed on the product page.
- Format — supplied as a powder for laboratory research handling.
- Research-use framing — a legitimate supplier is explicit that it is sold for research use only. See our overview of the legal landscape.
Where it fits
The full background is in our 5-Amino-1MQ research note, and the broader compound set is on the Recherche sur la perte de poids et le métabolisme page.
Frequently asked questions
Where can I buy 5-Amino-1MQ in Canada?
From domestic research suppliers. Vistara Labs stocks 5-Amino-1MQ 50 mg and ships from within Canada, no customs risk.
Is 5-Amino-1MQ a peptide?
No. It is a small-molecule NNMT inhibitor, not a peptide, though it is often grouped with research peptides.
Is 5-Amino-1MQ legal in Canada?
It is sold for laboratory research use only. It is not sold for human use, and nothing here is medical advice.
All products discussed are for laboratory research use only and are not for human use. Nothing on this page is medical advice, and no statement about any compound is a claim of therapeutic benefit.
