AOD 9604 (5mg)

What is AOD 9604?

Amino acids 176-191 of hGH — the part responsible for fat burning — isolated without growth effects.

Listed vial contents: 5mg. These are supplied quantities, not administration doses. Current pricing and availability are shown in the strength selector.

What mechanisms are being studied?

AOD 9604 is a synthetic peptide fragment comprising amino acids 176-191 of human growth hormone (hGH) — the specific domain responsible for lipolytic (fat-burning) activity. It stimulates lipolysis and inhibits lipogenesis through the beta-3 adrenergic receptor pathway. Critically, it does NOT stimulate IGF-1 production, meaning it provides the fat-metabolizing benefits of GH without the growth-promoting or glucose-raising effects.

What are the research questions?

• Fat metabolism research: Specifically targets adipose tissue without affecting growth, glucose, or insulin.
• Cartilage and joint repair: Received FDA GRAS designation for food use and has been studied for osteoarthritis in Australian clinical trials.
• Metabolic syndrome: Studied for its potential role in addressing obesity-related metabolic dysfunction without the insulin resistance associated with full GH.

What does the published work describe?

Phase 2 clinical trials (Metabolic Pharmaceuticals, Australia) showed dose-dependent fat loss over 12 weeks, though the effect size was modest in obese subjects. FDA GRAS Notice GRN 000678 confirmed safety. Preclinical: significant reduction in body fat in obese Zucker rats without changes in IGF-1 or insulin.

What are the limits of this evidence?

The research described concerns the cited experimental materials and models, not proof that this supplied vial is a treatment. Cell or animal findings do not establish human benefits. Clinical findings, where cited, apply to the tested formulation and population; they do not validate this research product for human use.

How should I check lot documentation?

Match the product, strength and lot to an original analysis document. Literature describes experimental findings; it does not verify the contents of this inventory. Generated sample reports illustrate the reporting flow and are not evidence of testing, purity or accreditation.
