AOD9604

What is AOD-9604?

AOD-9604 is a synthetic peptide derived from the C-terminal fragment of human growth hormone (HGH). Unlike HGH, it does not activate IGF-1, meaning it may support fat metabolism without the anabolic side effects of full growth hormone. Originally developed for its potential in obesity management, AOD-9604 is now being studied for fat loss, metabolic regulation, and joint health applications.

How Does AOD-9604 Work?

AOD-9604 stimulates the breakdown of stored fat by enhancing lipolysis (fat breakdown) and inhibiting lipogenesis (fat accumulation). By mimicking the effects of growth hormone on adipose tissue without influencing blood sugar or growth factors, it may provide a targeted pathway for fat metabolism. Research also indicates possible benefits in cartilage repair and inflammation reduction.

Chemical Properties

Potential Benefits of AOD-9604

• Fat Loss: Promotes lipolysis and reduces new fat storage.
• Metabolic Support: Studied for improving weight management without affecting blood glucose.
• Joint & Cartilage Health: May aid cartilage repair and reduce inflammation.
• Non-Anabolic: Designed to avoid IGF-1 or growth-promoting activity.

Clinical Research & Findings

Research on AOD-9604 suggests it may accelerate fat metabolism while maintaining stable glucose levels. Animal studies and early clinical trials indicate a potential role in obesity treatment, metabolic syndrome, and cartilage repair. Unlike HGH, it does not stimulate muscle growth, making it a more specialized compound in metabolic and orthopedic research.

Dosage & Research Protocols

• Research Dose: 300–500 mcg per day (subcutaneous)
• Cycle Length: Typically 4–12 weeks

Administration is most often subcutaneous. Longer-term studies may explore its cumulative impact on fat loss and joint health.
