5-Amino-1MQ
Usually a capsule, sometimes a vial.
5-Amino-1MQ is most often sold as an oral capsule, where no reconstitution applies at all. This page covers the injectable presentation, which is the only one the arithmetic is for.

The science
Check which product you actually have
01
5-Amino-1MQ is a small molecule that inhibits the enzyme nicotinamide N-methyltransferase. It is not a peptide, which is worth stating plainly on a site mostly about peptides, and it is most commonly sold as an oral capsule.
02
If you are holding capsules, none of the arithmetic on this page applies. There is no reconstitution, no concentration and no syringe. The calculator is only relevant to the injectable presentation, which is sold as a powder in large vials.
03
For that presentation the doses are unusually large. Where BPC-157 is dosed in hundreds of micrograms, 5-Amino-1MQ is discussed in tens of milligrams, which is several hundred times more by mass. A 50 mg dose at 25 mg per ml is 2 ml, which is twice the capacity of a U-100 barrel.
04
That makes the physical limits bind hard. The vial has to hold enough liquid to dissolve the powder, the syringe has to hold the resulting dose, and at these masses the two constraints frequently conflict. The table below shows where, rather than leaving it to be discovered mid-draw.

Doses are in tens of milligrams, the largest on this site. Most combinations overflow a 100 unit barrel, and the dots mark them.

A dot marks a combination that falls under two units or overflows a 100-unit barrel. Both are hard to measure accurately, so they are worth avoiding rather than eyeballing.
Regulatory status
Not approved in either form
5-Amino-1MQ has not been approved for human use by the FDA or any comparable regulator, in either the oral or the injectable presentation. There is no prescribing information and no official dose.
It is sold variously as a research chemical and as a dietary supplement. Neither route involves the regulatory review that an approved medicine goes through, and a supplement label is not evidence of safety or of accurate content.
It is covered by the World Anti-Doping Agency's S0 category, which captures any pharmacological substance with no current approval from any governmental health authority, so it is prohibited in tested sport at all times.
FAQ
Common questions
Is 5-Amino-1MQ taken orally or injected?
It is most commonly sold as an oral capsule, in which case no reconstitution arithmetic applies. An injectable powder presentation also exists, and that is the only one this calculator is for. Check which product you have before using any of these numbers.
How many units is 50 mg of 5-Amino-1MQ?
From a 100 mg vial reconstituted with 2 ml, the concentration is 50 mg per ml, so 50 mg is 1 ml, which is 100 units, the entire capacity of a U-100 barrel. More dilute reconstitutions will not fit in one syringe at all.
Why does my dose not fit in the syringe?
Because the doses are in tens of milligrams. One hundred units is one millilitre, so unless the concentration is high the dose simply exceeds what the barrel holds. This compound tests the limits of a U-100 syringe in a way the microgram peptides never do.
Is 5-Amino-1MQ a peptide?
No. It is a small molecule inhibitor of the enzyme nicotinamide N-methyltransferase. It is often sold alongside peptides and discussed in the same contexts, but it is a different kind of compound, and the oral route reflects that.
Is 5-Amino-1MQ approved for human use?
No. It has not been approved by the FDA or any comparable regulator in either the oral or the injectable form. There is no prescribing information and no official dose. It is sold as a research chemical or as a supplement depending on the vendor, and neither carries regulatory review.

This page calculates. Your notes app forgets.
Every tool here is stateless by design. What it cannot do is remember that your vial was mixed eleven days ago, or that a step-up is due this week.
This tool performs arithmetic on figures you enter, or presents a manufacturer-published schedule. It does not know your protocol, will never suggest a dose, and is not medical advice. Dosing decisions belong with a qualified prescriber.
