AOD 9604

What is AOD 9604?

AOD 9604 is a lab-made peptide (a very small protein). It copies a small piece of human growth hormone (HGH), just the part called amino acids 177–191.

That piece comes from the part of HGH linked to breaking down fat, sometimes called the lipolytic region. It does not include the part of HGH linked to growth.

What researchers study it for

• Fat breakdown. Labs study how this fragment affects the breakdown of fat cells.
• Fat storage. Studies look at whether it changes how the body stores fat.
• Comparison to full HGH. Researchers compare this fragment’s effects to those of full-length HGH, since it targets only one region.
• Use alongside training. Some study designs pair daily use with exercise and diet changes.

What you get

A sealed glass vial of powder. Choose 2 mg or 5 mg.

How to store it

Keep the sealed vial in the fridge, away from light. Once mixed with liquid, keep it cold and use it within a few weeks.

Words you might not know
