Adenosine 5-monophosphate (AMP) is a nucleotide involved in energy metabolism and protein synthesis. Studies suggest AMP may help prevent postherpetic neuralgia and alleviate photosensitivity, but more research is needed. AMP is also marketed as a weight loss supplement, but there is no scientific evidence to support this claim. Side effects are unknown. Adenosine 5-monophosphate is […]
