About AOD-9604
AOD-9604 is a modified fragment of the human growth hormone molecule — specifically the C-terminal region responsible for its effect on fat metabolism. The point of isolating it is what gets left behind: the parts of HGH that affect blood glucose, IGF-1 and tissue growth are not in the fragment, so the research interest is in lipolysis without the rest of the growth hormone picture.
That makes it a conservative option in a category that is not otherwise known for conservatism. AOD-9604 has been through human safety trials and has a longer regulatory history than most of what sits near it in the catalogue. It is closely related to HGH Fragment 176-191, and the Learn article linked below compares the two directly, since choosing between them is the most common question about either.
What it’s researched for
Research context, not medical advice. Everything we sell is supplied for research purposes.
Lipolysis
Stimulating the breakdown of stored fat, which is the function the fragment was isolated to reproduce.
Fat storage
Studied for inhibiting new fat accumulation as well as mobilising existing stores — the two halves of the same research interest.
No glucose effect
The reason to choose a fragment over whole HGH: the glucose and IGF-1 effects are absent, which is what makes its safety profile the more settled one.
Reconstitution and storage
The 5mg vial with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water gives 2.5mg/mL, so a 300mcg dose is a 12-unit draw. Protocols typically dose it fasted, on the reasoning that lipolysis is easiest to influence when insulin is low. Unopened vials are stable at room temperature in transit but belong in a fridge once they arrive, and out of a parked car in a Highveld summer.
