Buy 5-Amino-1MQ for Research: 2 Vendors Compared (Prices, COAs)
Checked, not rated · Updated 3 October 2026
5-Amino-1MQ is not approved by FDA for any use, and it is sold in the US labelled for research use only. 2 of the 3 vendors I check sell it online (Next Level Pharm and BioEdge Research Labs), from $39 for a 10 mg vial as of 3 October 2026.
The table compares vendors on FDA record, testing lab, batch COAs and price. Before buying from anyone, run my vendor checklist.
- Class
- Small-molecule quinolinium salt - not a peptide
- Background
- An NNMT-inhibiting research chemical marketed for fat loss and metabolic health.
- Human evidence
- Animal / lab only

5-Amino-1MQ vendors compared
The checklist results come from my review of each vendor and cover the whole store. A vendor can publish COAs for some products and not others. The featured vendor is pinned first; the order is not a ranking.

5-Amino-1MQ capsules
Capsules are taken by mouth and are a different product from the vial. The vial's COA does not cover them, so ask for a COA for the capsule batch. They carry the same research-use-only label.

What a 5-Amino-1MQ COA should show
A certificate of analysis (COA) is the lab report for one batch. For 5-Amino-1MQ, check these:
- Identity: 5-Amino-1MQ is a small molecule, not a peptide. The active part is the 5-amino-1-methylquinolinium cation (about 159.2 Da, C10H11N2+), sold as its iodide salt, so the COA should state the salt form.
- Purity by HPLC for this batch, shown as a chromatogram as well as a percentage.
- A lot number that matches your vial or pack, the test date and the lab's name, so you can confirm the certificate on the lab's own site.
A purity figure does not cover sterility or bacterial endotoxins; a COA covers those only if it reports separate tests for them. Line by line: how to read a peptide COA.
Red flags when buying 5-Amino-1MQ
- Weight-loss claims on the product page. Every efficacy result I could find comes from mouse studies.
- No certificate of analysis for the batch you will receive, or one without a lot number or a named lab.
- Dosing instructions or treatment claims for people on the product page.
- An FDA warning letter naming the seller. Search fda.gov before you pay.
- No way to pay with buyer protection, such as a credit card.
Common questions
Where can I buy 5-Amino-1MQ?
Online, from research vendors that label it for laboratory use only. I list 2 checked vendors: Next Level Pharm and BioEdge Research Labs, from $39 for a 10 mg vial as of 3 October 2026. Before you pay, confirm the batch COA on the testing lab's own site.
Is 5-Amino-1MQ for sale legally?
5-Amino-1MQ is sold in the US labelled for laboratory research use only. It is not approved by FDA for any use, and marketing it for human use in the US is unlawful, however it is labelled. In a warning letter dated 20 January 2026, FDA named it as ineligible for 503B compounding. This is general information, not legal advice.
Do I need a prescription for 5-Amino-1MQ?
No US-approved 5-Amino-1MQ product exists for a doctor to prescribe. Research vendors sell it without a prescription, labelled for laboratory use only.
How much does 5-Amino-1MQ cost?
On the vendors' own product pages: Next Level Pharm, 10 mg vial, $49.99 (as of 3 October 2026); BioEdge Research Labs, 10 mg vial, $39.00 (as of 3 October 2026). Prices change often, so check the product page before you rely on one.
How do I know if 5-Amino-1MQ is real?
Only a lab test can tell you. Ask for the certificate of analysis (COA) for your batch, and confirm it on the testing lab's own site. The result should match the 5-amino-1-methylquinolinium cation, about 159.2 daltons, with the iodide salt stated. A vendor's COAs for other products say nothing about this one, so check that the certificate names 5-Amino-1MQ and your lot number.
Who sells the best 5-Amino-1MQ?
I don't rank vendors, so I don't name a best one. Compare what each lets you check: a named testing lab, a COA for your lot that the lab confirms on its own site, and no FDA warning letter. The table shows my checklist result for each vendor. A vendor that passes every check can still ship a bad batch.
