Yes, it is highly effective for reducing facial redness, rosacea, and broken capillaries by targeting and collapsing unwanted blood vessels beneath the skin
Its mechanisms are interesting and potentially relevant
Researched effects In a diet-induced-obese mouse study (Neelakantan et al., Biochemical Pharmacology, 2018), subcutaneous 5-Amino-1MQ (20 mg/kg, three times daily, roughly 11 days) produced about 5.1% body-weight loss versus continued weight gain in untreated controls, roughly 35% less epididymal white fat mass, smaller adipocytes, lower plasma cholesterol, and improved glucose tolerance, with no reported change in food intake and no observed adverse effects in the mice
Functional capacity typically expands progressively during this period
