Buy 5-Amino-1MQ

5-Amino-1MQ is not a peptide at all. It is a small methylquinolinium compound, a single ring system with an amino group, and it appears in the Lumo Peptides catalogue in three places: a vial of powder, an oral form, and one blend that carries it alongside two other substances. This page gives the price of each with the conversion per milligram where the item holds one substance in a stated quantity. The material is for laboratory use only; we state no dosage and no method of use.

The three entries

Item	Contents	Price	Per milligram
5-Amino-1MQ vial	50 mg	€ 84,95	€ 1,70
5-Amino-1MQ oral form	Tablets	€ 100,95	—
NAD+ with MOTS-c and 5-Amino-1MQ	120 mg combined	€ 89,95	—

Only the vial carries a conversion. It holds fifty milligrams for € 84,95, which works out at € 1,70 per milligram. That is well below the middle of the peptide range in this catalogue, and the reason has nothing to do with quantity discounts.

Why a non-peptide sits so far below the peptides

Every peptide in this catalogue is assembled one amino acid residue at a time. Each residue means its own coupling step, its own deprotection, its own wash and its own share of yield loss. A thirty-residue chain therefore carries thirty rounds of that work, and the milligram rate follows the number of rounds rather than the mass at the end.

5-Amino-1MQ is built by ordinary organic synthesis instead: a handful of reactions on a ring system, with no chain to extend and no stepwise assembly. The route is shorter, it scales without the losses compounding, and the material ends up in the same price band as the simplest substances on the site rather than alongside the peptides it is catalogued next to.

That is worth holding on to when the vial is compared with its neighbours. A lower figure per milligram here reflects a different kind of chemistry, not a different grade of material or a larger pack.

The oral form and the blend

Neither of the other two entries carries a conversion, and for two separate reasons.

The oral form comes as tablets. The fifty milligrams printed in the item name is the strength of a single tablet rather than the contents of the pack, so dividing the pack price by that number would produce a figure roughly twenty-five times too high. For tablet packs this catalogue gives the pack price and stops there.

The blend holds NAD+, MOTS-c and 5-Amino-1MQ, a hundred and twenty milligrams between the three. The amount buys all three at once, so there is no single quantity to divide by, and a figure per milligram would quietly present three different substances as interchangeable mass.

Vial against tablets

The two single-substance formats differ by sixteen euros, with the tablets the dearer of the pair. That gap is not a difference in the substance but in what has to happen to it: a tablet is pressed, coated and counted into a pack, while a vial is filled with powder and stoppered.

The formats also differ in what the laboratory has to do next. The vial arrives as powder and needs a solvent before anything can be done with it. The tablets do not, which removes a preparation step and with it a source of variation.

What the label carries

The vial label states three things: the substance, the quantity in milligrams and the lot number. There is no instruction for use on it. On the tablet pack the number printed is the strength per unit, which is the single most common thing to misread on a label of this kind.

The lot number is what ties either container to its analysis report. Without it the report would describe some batch of the substance rather than the one in hand, and that is as true for a small molecule as for a peptide.

Reconstitution and laboratory supplies

The vial and the blend arrive as freeze-dried powder under a sealed stopper; the oral form does not and needs no solvent. Bringing a vial into solution calls for bacteriostatic water, which the catalogue files under laboratory supplies alongside syringes and filters. That group runs to fifteen items and opens at € 2,95.

No solvent volume appears on this page, because the volume follows from the protocol and not from the product. NAD+ and MOTS-c, the two substances that share the blend, are set out on the Buy NAD+ page, and the full price list across the twenty categories is on Buy peptides.

Batch analysis and delivery

Each lot travels with an analysis report giving the lot number, the method applied and the outcome of the purity determination, and the number on it matches the number on the container.

Orders leave the Netherlands. The United Kingdom sits outside the EU, so a British parcel passes through customs and the carrier charges any import VAT or duty to the recipient. Ireland is inside the EU at € 14,95, where import charges do not arise. Carriage to the United Kingdom is € 15,95 and is not charged above € 200. Every parcel carries a tracking number and the outer box is plain.
